The F.C. Brent home was at the corner of LaRua and Spring Streets. After the Brents lived here, the house was rented to the USO during World War II. After the War, the house was bought by the Elks Club. In 1998, Roy Jones Jr., a professional boxer, bought the house, using part of it for a boxing school. In 2003 the house was sold to a developer. The house was pulled down in 2005 to make way for new development. One of the Brent descendants was unable to prevent the demolition, but did manage to salvage the exterior bricks and the limestone fireplace engraved with the Brent crest. The hope is to use the bricks for walkways in St. Michael's Cemetery where many of the Brents are buried.
