6th St.
The original house, built in 1846, was Greek Revival style with 3 rooms and a
large hallway on each floor. An
open outside stairway sheltered by the porch roof provided the only access from
the lower to the upper level, except for the steps leading to the front
entrance. The lower level opened on
the brick paved patio at the rear. The
original kitchen was the front northwest room on ground level.
Approximately 1870 a bay window was added , a small front porch built,
and the two-story 4-room east wing was added.
A later renovation converted the basement area into two apartments.
Behind and to the south is a two-bay, one-story brick structure built at
the same time as the house as a slave quarters or summer kitchen.
