Description and history

The 2-1/2 story brick house was built in the 1820s by Seth Davis, a locally prominent teacher and real estate investor, and is one of the finest Greek Revival houses in the city. It is unusual for having brick detailing instead of wood for the cornices. Seth Davis was a major investor in West Newton's Railroad Hotel, and owned much land in the area. Davis Street, Davis Court, and the Davis School are all named in his honor.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 1986.[1]

gollark: > This book is intended as a text for a second or third level undergraduate course in introductory ethical calculus or morality science. Ethical Calculus on the Astral Manifold demonstrates foundational concepts of ZFC+DMR axiomatic moral theory in particularly novel ways. Join an autonomous car as it journeys across the utility isosurface, restricted in phase-space by the physical constraints of spacetime. Follow the thought processes of the man at the lever in the modified manifold trolley problem. Watch as a eigenmoses maximizer behaves in a simulated environment, following an instinct one might find very familiar. These are just a few of many case studies presented, analyzed in detail in a manner both interesting, easy to read, and highly informative. Freshman knowledge of real analytical techniques is recommended but not necessarily required.

gollark: What do you mean "morally"? Have you devised some sort of formally specified typed encoding for ethics?
