historical narrative

George B. Horne present owner (1975-77), Nathaniel Hayward original owner.
Themes - Architectural and Community Development.

From a preliminary examination of the interior, what appears from the outside to be a late Federal-Greek farmhouse with 19th century trim, turns out to be a remodelled Early Georgian house with some possibility of an earlier house buried within.
One front room has an exposed summer beam with quirk-beaded edge and beaded edge sheathing. The other front room, apparently of a later finish, has cased summer beam with heavy Early Georgian moldings. The house now has end chimneys and the original staircase has been replaced.

1968 Timothy P. Horne
