"The Klinger House, also known as the Brewmeister House, was built in 1855 and is a fine example of the Greek Revival style. The house had a tunnel that led from the south wall of the basement to the north wall of the old brewery located next door. It is believed that the owner had the tunnel dug because he disliked walking through inclement weather. The tunnel has since been filled in." Touring Historical Whitewater, n.d.
