Description and history

edit

Built c. 1790, it is a 1+12-story "half Cape" (three bays wide), with a side entry and chimney. This well-preserved house was owned by Daniel Crosby, the progenitor of the locally prominent Crosby family, and Reverend Edward Bourne Hinckley, the community's first librarian. It was also home to the local historical society for a time.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1987.[1]
