166 Words1 Page

This house’s moniker is derived from the names of the original owner and his great grandson. It was built for Dr. Lorenzo Frink, a local surgeon, after storms and fire damaged the previous Frink home located on the same lot. Joseph Cotton (1904-1994), the great grandson of Dr. Frink, became a well known actor in film, television, and Broadway shows.

The original house has undergone several additions and renovations. Interior renovations have removed or hidden many of the features of the original 1890 structure. The exterior view remains a classical Southport scene having a nineteenth century home with a sprawling oak tree dominating the yard.
