History

House of 1885 by George Morgan of Carmarthen, designed as the chapel house to Deer Park Baptist Church, and as a pair with a manse intended for the other side of the chapel. In the event the manse was not built and the house was taken by the building contractor, Joshua Harries, in part-payment for building the church. William Husband, plumber, and builder of the County School, was occupant in 1911 and 1926.
