The little cottage is now used as a rumpass room for the family that lives there but it was once the site of the famous jailhouse break where Robert Alcorn felt sorry for two inmates who were in custody for public burglery. The jail was believed to be unbreakable and needed for all of the wild drinking in those days. However Alcorn got around all the iron bars and windowless walls by picking the lock. Alcorn later confessed to the crime and was jailed in the County Jail from which he himself escaped a few days later.
