Description
Chapel House, the Post Office, and The Old Manse are a pair of houses with a probable 17th-century core that were remodeled in the early 19th century. The buildings are timber-framed and covered in white brick, topped with a plain tile roof and red brick stacks. They are two stories high with a two-window center range and gabled cross wings on each side. The left wing is integrated into the Post Office, which includes a single-storey extension that is of no special interest. The main range features six-panel doors with radial fanlights set under round arches. There are 16-pane sash windows in reveals with sills, and cambered brick arches above the ground floor and wings. The roof is steeply pitched, with a central stack on the main range and ridge stacks on the cross wings. The building was undergoing renovation at the time of the last survey, and the interior was not inspected.
