Description and history

It is a 1+12-story, Cape style structure, with a central entry flanked by sidelight windows. The interior has been somewhat modified (by the removal of a wall and the addition of a bathroom, among others) but its original layout is readily discerned. The house may have been built by L. Bowen, probably a son of Nathan Bowen, whose house also stands nearby. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1983. [1]
