Scope & Content |
The house at 932 Main Street is known as the Abner Reed House. It was built about 1750 and purchased in 1811 by Abner Reed, an author, teacher, illustrator of books using carved wood-cuts, and engraver of bank notes using etched copper plates. The Historic Resources Inventory describes it as a two-and-one-half story New England Colonial house with ridge parallel to street and massive brick chimney. For many years, the house was used as parsonage for the Congregational Society with pastors Judson B. Stoddard, P. O. Powers, and George A. Bowman. A new parsonage was built and subsequent owners included Mr. and Mrs. Marshall F. Bidwell, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart D. Leland. |
