Description
This is a building on Dunstable Street, likely originally constructed earlier and remodelled around 1750 in a Gothic style. It is a one-story building with an attic. The exterior is cream-painted brick, topped with a steep tiled roof. The building has tall chimney stacks, with little original work remaining to those. There are two pointed-arch windows, repeated in two gabled dormers, all featuring sash windows with glazing bars arranged in Gothic patterns. A projecting gabled porch contains a stone Tudor archway framing an 18th-century six-panel door.
