Description and history

The Garber House stands on more than 56 acres (23 ha) in rural southern Goshen, on the west side of Lempster Coach Road, about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 31. It is a 1+1⁄2-story wooden structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney. [2] The walls are formed out of vertically oriented wooden planking which is three inches think, with lateral stability provided by wooden dowels. [3] It is five bays wide, with the center entrance flanked by sash windows. The entry has sidelight windows, and originally had a more elaborate Greek Revival framing. An ell, possibly once a small barn, extends to the west of the main block at a recess, with a covered porch in front. [2]

The house was built about 1835, and is one of a cluster of houses built using this unusual construction method in Goshen. Its sophisticated Greek Revival entry surround was one of just two identified in the town during an architectural survey performed in the 1980s (the other is the Burford House). [2]
