History

This house was constructed between 1863 and 1864 for James B. Dutton, a lawyer and insurance agent in Lapeer during the town's period of early prosperity and growth. In 1869, the house passed to Oliver and Mary P. Nichols, the owners of a local hardware store. The Nicholses lived in the house until 1892, when it was purchased by the Presbyterian Church, whose sanctuary is located two blocks away. The church used the house as a manse until 1955. After this use ended, the house was converted into apartments. [2]

Description

The James B. Dutton House is a T-shaped, wood-framed structure sitting on a stone foundation. The house is sited on a corner. The stem of the "T" contains a five-sided first floor bay window ornamented with dentils, paired brackets, and arched window surrounds. Above is a pair of rounded-arch windows on the second story, and carved and incised brackets at the eaves. Other windows in the facade have similar gentle arching and molded surrounds.
