It began as an 1806 Federal colonial but was 'modernized' in the mid 1800's with a Greek Revival facelift and later expanded when they attached a 1750's ell. Modern conveniences were accommodated to the existing floor plan with minimal changes. Care has been taken to preserve the historic integrity of the house while totally refreshing the living spaces with a completely new kitchen and updated bathroom.
