Description and history

Built in the 1830s or 1840s, the 2 12-story wood-frame house is a rare local example of a house transitional between Federal and Greek Revival styling. The side hall, front gable plan is typically Greek Revival, but some details are Federalist, such as the narrow corner boards, and a doorway flanked by sidelight windows and surrounded by an architrave with corner and center blocks.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
