Former site of the mansion that L. Frank Baum’s family bought in 1866 with profits from the oil business. he yellowish hemlock wood of the plank road may have been an inspiration for the Yellow Brick Road. t passed through several hands and eventually became a roadhouse. It burned down on February 25, 1899. In 1900, a new roadhouse was constructed on the site, operating under such names as the Old Rural Inn and Faatz’s Hotel. This structure was damaged by one fire in 1957 and destroyed by a second in 1958. The historic address, 2299 Brewerton Road, ceased to exist following a general realignment of street addresses to improve access for emergency service providers.
