This L-shaped building is laid out unusually compared to the
other Greek Revival structures we have seen. The two bay wide
short leg of the L faces the street and has a pedimented gable.
The windows in this façade are two over two double-hung
sashes with flat arched lintels and symmetrically arranged. A
small arched window is in the pedimented gable. The side facing
entrance to the building is located on the inside corner of the
short leg of the L and is protected by a tin sided vestibule installed
when the interior was redone sometime in the 1890's. (1) A two
bay by four bay porch wraps the front and north side of the building.
A second story one bay by two bay covered porch extends from the
short leg of the L. The brick load-bearing walls rest on a stone
foundation and support a wood truss roof system sheathed with
asphalt shingles.
Roscoe Lillie is the owner on the 1869 Worley map, and was also
the proprietor of a grocery store in the neighboring structure
(64 N. Winooski Ave.). (2) Ownership passed to James Middlebrook
who lived here from 1889 to 1904. (3)
