Notes:
Scully described this house as a Stick Style masterpiece. This deceptively large house is very difficult to photograph due to mature pine trees on the property and the closeness of neighboring buildings. Built on a rise overlooking Brook Road, it must have been very picturesque in its day. It appears in good condition.
