Description
editWillowmere was originally constructed around 1750 as a 2+1⁄2-story, gambrel-roofed dwelling with a five-bay front facade. It was expanded in 1893. It was the property of Admiral Aaron Ward (1851-1918) – a rose lover.[2] The portico was added in 1926, when the house was renovated to the Colonial Revival style.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
