History & local legend
John and Alice Jefferson built their house on Market Street in Warren in 1890. Its spacious reception hall, broad staircase and carved fireplace became recognizable features of the building, later known as the Jefferson Tea House.
The ghost story concerns a figure said to wander the third floor. In a December 2006 online discussion, a neighbor who lived two blocks away said the tale was familiar locally, although the neighbor had never seen the figure.
