HOUSE
c. 1920, c. 1970
Constructed about 1920, this two-story, side-gabled, Colonial Revival-style house faces Hooper Lane to the south. It is three bays wide and double-pile with German-profile weatherboards, eight-over-eight wood-sash windows, deep eaves, partial gable returns, and exterior brick chimneys in each gable. Centered on the façade, the five-panel door is flanked by eight-light-over-one-panel sidelights and has a three-part transom. It is inset slightly in a paneled surround with a classical surround on the façade featuring paired columns supporting the entablature. A one-story, shed-roofed porch on the left (west) elevation is supported by columns and accessed by paired ten-light French doors on the left elevation. A one-story, shed-roofed porch on the right (east) elevation was enclosed between 1949 and 1992 and has paired fifteen-light casement windows and an inset porch at the right rear. A later one-story, gabled ell projects from the rear elevation with grouped four-light casement windows and an exterior brick chimney on the west elevation. There is a stone wall along Battle Lane and Hooper Lane and a high stone wall along the driveways at the north and east ends of the property. According to Sanborn maps, the house was constructed between 1915 and 1925.

In the 2015 survey, this was deemed a Contributing Building.
