This two and a half story three
by two bay wood framed Greek Revival house sits as an eaves front
orientation to North Street. The South façade and entrance
faces North Street. The house is a rectangular volume and is
capped by a gable roof and gable returns terminate the eave line
at the gable ends. The roof is crowned with a two by two bay
cupola which has a hipped pyramidal roof. The entrance is centrally
located in the south façade and columns support a second
story one by two bay window. The house sits on a stone foundation
and is believed to have been very ornate at one time. (1) Stylistically
this house dates to the 1840's and appears on the 1853 map of
Burlington. Strangely, there is no evidence to support its use
until it appears on an 1890 map as the location "Steam Stone
Cutter Company". There is no such evidence listed in the
Burlington city business directory. (1) Although the house is
believed to have been changed many times, it is a good example
of the neighborhood homes and their diversity of the upper North
Street neighborhood.
