Notes:"... home is early Greek Revival, with extention to the house. It has lightly fluted columns and interesting wooden 'tassle' detail at the roof line. A very inviting home, we in Hebron think these houses to be unique to our town, but there is another collection of small Greek Revivals in northwestern Connecticut, around Kent."
