About the Servant's Quarters & Cook's Cottage
The Servants Quarters, Cottages 1 & 2, were built in 1870 by Joseph Jefferson who also built his Victorian style home around the same time . Cook's Cottage was built in 1925 by J. Lyles Bayless Sr., who purchased the property from the Jefferson heirs in 1917. This cottage was to serve as a home for the cook who prepared meals for employees of the Jefferson Island Salt mine, which was 1300 feet below Jefferson Island.
