Description and history

edit

The wood-framed 2+12-story two-family house was built c. 1855–56 as a rental property by either Bela Stoddard or his son George. It has a side-gable roof, with a single-story porch extending across the five-bay front facade. The walls under the porch are finished in flushboard, a Greek Revival feature, while the porch supports are Italianate in style.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.[1]
