Description and history

The simple vernacular house was built in about 1760, and is locally significant for its status as the original homestead of Asa Lincoln, one of Taunton's first settlers. The asymmetrically-bayed, 1-1/2 story house features a central chimney, entrance and 6/6 sash windows that are irregularly spaced.[2] The small house is next door to a newer, larger (non-NRHP listed) 18th century house located 173 Shores Street, that has been added on to.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984. Since that time, the historic house has been significantly altered with three large dormers added to the upper level. A new garage has also been constructed on the property.[4]
