Description and history

Built in about 1727, this <templatestyles src="Fraction/styles.css" />2+1⁄2-story, Georgian style, wood-framed house is the oldest documented house in the city. It is five bays wide and two bays deep, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. Its main entry is framed by pilasters, and topped by a fanlight and gabled pediment. Peter Walker purchased the land, and is said to have built the house soon afterward as a wedding present for his new bride.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[2]
