South View of the Hannah Cheever House |
Hannah Cheever, the innkeeper at nearby Sugartown Inn, built this 2 ½-story, four-bay dwelling c. 1835.
The structure provides the student with an unusual example of post and beam
construction. The mortised oak timbers were covered with wood lath and
stuccoed with a pebble-dashed mortar finish. It was built as a hall
and parlor plan dwelling with a center staircase. A one-room,
two-story stone wing, which was added to the north, contains a cooking
fireplace with a large brick-lined bake oven extending through the north
wall. Come visit resident Jan Whitlock Antiques and Interiors. |
