Description and history
editThe 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival wood-frame house was built c. 1858 by Charles L. Baxter, a local housewright who then lived there until his death. The house has an L-shaped layout, with the front entrance on the front of the main block, and a porch in the crook of the L. The house's corners are decorated with pilasters, as is the front door entry, which is topped by an entablature and lintel shelf.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.[1]
