Statement of Interest

The spacing of the bays and the fact that the upper windows virtually abut the eaves suggests the house is relatively early in original date - the stop-chamfered window surrounds being a later alteration. With its symmetrical elevation to the street and projecting pigeon ledge, the adjoining ancillary wing (said to have been a mill wrights at one time) is particularly interesting.
