Notes:
This Stick Style house is very boldly executed with an abundance of stick-work and an impressive gabled entrance. Compare to the Physick House in Cape May, NJ. Hartwell & Swasey of Boston were partners from 1870-1879. They also designed the Central Congregational Church and the Academy Building in Fall River.
