Description and history

edit

It is a 1+12-story wood-framed structure, five bays wide, with a side gable gambrel roof, a central chimney, and wood shingle siding. It has a narrow wood plank door flanked by sidelight windows. The house was built circa 1728, making it one of the oldest standing structures in the city. The gambrel roof is a particularly rare feature on houses of this period in Southeastern Massachusetts.[2]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
