010 . <br /> Form No. 10- 3004 <br /> %' Aov 10 . 4 ) . <br /> UNITED STATES DEPARTNtENT OF THE I NITER IOR FOR NPS USE ONLY <br /> NATIONAL PARK SERVICE <br /> RECEIVED . <br /> NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES <br /> INVENTORS " NOMINATION FORM JDATE ENTERED <br /> CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 7 PAGE 1 <br /> of these is the presence of what appears to be brick hogging in the south wall at the <br /> first level . It does not extend to the second level , and it cannot be determined <br /> whether it occurs anywhere else at the , fi.rst level . <br /> The front section of the house , the two - story Greek Revival block , was probably <br /> built for the Binghams . It follows a center -hall plan one room deep , and the finish <br /> is a curious combination of rather elegant paneling on doors and some wainscots and <br /> beautiful marbleizing , and other features - mantel , stair , and other elements - of <br /> very plain vernacular character . Whether this reflects the work of different crafts <br /> men , the combination of some elements brought into the house and others made on the <br /> site , or what , is not known , but the variation in sophistication is marked . <br /> The house , three bays wide and two deep , is covered with plain weatherboards and <br /> carries a gable roof . It rests on brick piers , a brick foundation , and a partial <br /> basement . Doors and windows are framed by simplified Greek Revival moldings , consisting <br /> of boards grooved to resemble symmetrical molding or fluting , accented hy. plain corner - <br /> blocks . Windows are unusually large , with twelve-over - twelve sash at the first level <br /> and eight -over- twelve at the second . The double door 's centrally located front . and <br /> back are very handsome , with a simpl9t transom and three plain raised panels on each <br /> leaf of the door , expertly woodgrained . . • A * front shed entrance porch lacks base and . <br /> columns . Exterior chimneys of brick laid in one- to - five common bond , with single <br /> stepped shoulders rise at either end . Atothe east end , the house has been extended <br /> a few feet , reusing old materials , so that it is flush with the chimney . <br /> The interior is essentially unchanged , and features sheathed ceilings and walls <br /> plastered above a wainscot . In the hall and west first- floor parlor , the wainscot <br /> is quite handsome , with a double range of flat panels outlined with a heavy molding . <br /> The panels are subtly arranged to fit precisely the length of each wall , and in the <br /> parlor a single range only appears beneath the large windows . Wainscots in the other <br /> rooms are flush sheathed . Doors , too , are quite handsome , with the same rich moldings <br /> around their six flat panels , which are expertly wood - grained . Door and window frames <br /> are plain symmetrically grooved ones with plain cornerblocks , and at the windows <br /> descend to the baseboard to frame the panels beneath the window . The baseboard , which i <br /> is marbleized , is absolutely plain . Mantels without '. exception are unsophisticated <br /> post - and - lintel compositions with simple shelves , of vaguely Greek Revival character . <br /> Some marbleizing is present . The stair , which rises back- to - front in the hall , features <br /> i <br /> slim balusters square- in- section and square posts with molded cap , which carry a robust ' <br /> rounded handrail , an inverted U- shaped in section . Risers are marbleized . <br /> The office , featuring board and batten walls , has a broad frieze beneath the <br /> heavy overhang of the hip roof . Details are of typical mid- nineteenth century <br /> character , including two - panel , woodgrained doors . <br />
