Description and history
editThe house was built in about 1750 in the Steep Brook section of the town, which was then still part of Freetown. It was a 2+1⁄2-story, wood-framed structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and clapboard siding. It was one of the only Federal-period with a pedimented doorway that included a half-round fanlight.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1983.[1]
The house was dismantled in July 1983, only 5 months after its designation as a landmark.[3] The site is now owned by the New England Power Company.[4]
