ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION:
Describe architectural features. Evaluate the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community.
This is a two-story Federal style home with very shallow hipped roof with projecting cornice and narrow cornerboards. At the
center of the five bay front façade is a wide slightly recessed front entrance with paired flanking pilasters, sidelights, and
classical molding. The two story entry porch with Queen Anne style turned posts, spindle friezes and balustrade was also a later
alteration to the home. On the southern side of the home is an entry way with simple pilasters and architrave. This entry
originally had a transom, but it has been covered over. The house has replacement windows that are six over six sash and the
house has been covered in vinyl. The house has paired interior brick chimneys on the western elevation of the roof as well as a
single brick chimney on the eastern elevation of the roof. There is a small two story addition on the far eastern corner of the
southern elevation of the home that is one bay wide and two bays deep. This house occupies the front 1/3 of an acre lot that was
subdivided in the 2000s to allow for additional residential uses.
HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include uses of the building, and the role(s) the
owners/occupants played within the community.
From Form B of 1980: “This house probably dates from 1806 when Heman Pomeroy obtained 1 ¾ acres. This comprised the
northern half of the David Turner estate. Mr. Pomeroy was a tailor and kept the property until 1814. The house passed through
a number of other hands during the 19th century, with no owner keeping it more than thirty years.”
