Description and history

The David M. Anthony House stands north of downtown Fall River, on the west side of North Main Street between Walnut and Locust Streets. It is a 2+12-story brick structure, three bays wide, with a mansard roof, stone corner quoining, and a bracketed cornice. Paired windows are set in rectangular openings, with peaked gable lintels and bracketed sills. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with clustered columns mounted on square paneled blocks. A polygonal window bay projects from the left side of the house. [2]

The house was built in 1875, and is one of the city's finest examples of Second Empire architecture. It was built for David Anthony, a partner in a supply firm, and may have been built by his wife's uncle, who owned a local construction firm. The use of brick in residential construction is unusual for the period in Fall River, indicating a house of some importance. The house originally also featured a cupola and iron cresting on the roof, but these details have been lost, as has a similarly styled carriage house. Between 1916 and 1940 it was occupied by the Knights of Columbus. It was later sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River. [2]
