Description and history

The 2 12-story wood frame house was designed by local architect Alexander Rice Esty and built c. 1866 for Moses Ellis, a well-to-do local farmer. The house has a distinctive front facade, with a square projecting gable-end section from which a porte cochere protrudes. The gable of the projection has a nearly pedimented end, with an oval-arched window, a motif repeated in a slightly projecting gable on the house's right facade. In the early 20th century the house was home to a school for boys.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 1983.[1]

gollark: Good reasons. Anyway, I'll see I can fix it for you, <@129553195314839552>.
gollark: I'm not sure what causes that exactly, but I can probably try for a hacky patch now.
