Description |
The Historic Resources Inventory, completed in 2006, describes this two and one-half story house as "an excellent example of a New England Colonial." Original ell built about 1697; new house added to front about 1757; and the whole house moved back from the street in 1913. The roofline is parallel to the street. Facade is 5/5 bays wide with central entrance. The entrance, known as a Connecticut River Valley Doorway, is an "excellent example of this form." Door is flanked by pilasters and topped with massive, scrolled, broken pediment. Each scroll end of the pediment ends in a six pointed star. Side entrances also ornate. Foundation is sandstone. Ebenezer Grant bought house and land from father, Samuel, about 1757. Information included on the Grant Family. |
