Casa Maley was constructed in 1912 by Henry F. Maley, founder and owner of the Brandon Brewery Company. Erected towards the end of Brandon’s great economic boom, the house is representative of those stately homes that grace the central area of the city. The Tudor styling, expressed in the half timbers and dramatic play of dark and light patterns, was a popular architectural expression of the era. The spacious interior includes an ornate staircase constructed in quarter cut oak and, throughout the house, wood detailing of exquisite craftsmanship. The house was purchased by Dr. McDiarmid, whose family occupied the home for the next sixty years. It is currently used as a bed and breakfast establishment.
