Description and history

edit

This large 2+12-story, Greek Revival style house was built in 1835 for Samuel Tisdale, and is one of the last surviving estate houses in the city. It originally sat on a large estate, which was held through the 1870s by Lovett Morse, a bank president, before being subdivided for development. The house has a central-hall plan, and is set on a high brick foundation. It has a single-story porch supported by fluted columns, that wraps around two sides. The house has been subdivided into apartments.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
