Description and history

The 2+1⁄2(two and half) story wood-frame house was built in the year 1844–1855 by Ginery Twichell, a leading Massachusetts politician, as well as a nationally prominent stagecoach and railroad owner. Twichell lived at 40 Kent Street. The house is a well-preserved example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling. Its massing and roofline are typically Greek Revival, but its gable ends and eaves have doubled brackets, and its windows are capped by scrollwork decoration. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985. [1]
