Description and history

The two-story, wood-framed house was built between 1840 and 1844 by Ezekiel Sawin, president of the Fairhaven Bank. It is an elaborate and distinctive expression of Greek Revival styling, with a wraparound porch supported by Ionic columns, and wide corner pilasters. The house also has some Federal elements including a balustrade at the edge of the roof.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1979.[1]

gollark: ... I forgot one of them, hold on while I try and reremember it.
gollark: That's probably one of them. I'm writing.
gollark: > If you oppose compromises to privacy on the grounds that you could do something that is misidentified as a crime, being more transparent does helpI mean, sure. But I worry about lacking privacy for reasons other than "maybe the government will use partial data or something and accidentally think I'm doing crimes".
gollark: Also, you can probably just treat privacy as a "terminal goal" like all the other weird drives us foolish humans have, but I think there are good reasons for it based on other stuff.
gollark: Are you missing some negatives or something? I'm failing to parse that.
