The Jehiel Cochran House (also known locally as Brickhaven) is a historic house at 65 Burnham Road in Andover, Massachusetts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Massachusetts cultural inventory records at 63 Burnham Road, but by the Andover Historical Society at 65 Burnham Road. [2] [3] The house, built in the 1830s, is locally distinctive for its use of brick, and for its association with the Jehiel Cochran, the brickyard owner who built it. It was listed on the National Register in 1982.

Description and history

The Cochran House is set back from the north side of Burnham Road, just east of its crossing of some railroad tracks. It is a rectangular brick structure, 2+12 stories high, with a side gable roof and twin interior chimneys. A large modern addition has been built to the right of the original structure that rivals it in size. The windows are six-over-six sash, with granite lintels, and the center entry is flanked by sidelight windows. The property also includes a small vintage barn. [3]

The house, built in the 1830s, is uncommon because most houses in the area of that period were built of wood. Jehiel Cochran, the builder and owner, was an Andover native who owned a brickyard nearby. Cochran was apparently associated with the brickyard for some time, but was listed as a farmer when he died in 1860. The house he built is a well-executed conservative vernacular rendition of a transitional Federal-Greek Revival style. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Dr. Luther L. and Susette E. (Baker) Pease House</span> Historic house in Iowa, United States

The Dr. Luther L. and Susette E. (Baker) Pease House is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with the settlement of the city that was influenced by the establishment of the Military Road, its use of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its vernacular architectural techniques. Located at the intersection of the Military Road and the Cedar Rapids Road, it is thought this house was constructed in two parts. The front gable section on the right may have been built by the Albright brothers in the 1850s. They owned one of the early brickyards in town and built several houses. The side-gabled section on the left is believed to have been built after Dr. Pease bought the property in 1866. It was built using bricks from the G.W. Robinson brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time. Pease was a prominent physician in town and served as the city's first mayor. The two-story brick house features mid-19th century stylistic influences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Martin L. and Mary Jane (Yount) Shantz House</span> Historic house in Iowa, United States

The Martin L. and Mary Jane (Yount) Shantz House is a historic building located in Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. It is significant for being constructed of locally made brick and locally quarried limestone, and its Late Victorian architectural influences. It was built in 1882 on two lots in Saxby's Addition to Mount Vernon. The house is a two-story, L-shaped brick structure with a low-pitched hip roof, wide eaves, tall windows that enhance its verticality, and a three-sided bay window. It is a vernacular expression of Late Victorian stylistic influences. The house lacks elaborate exterior decorative elements and a substantial front porch at a time when they were popular. This either reflects the Shantz's preferences or a lack of finances to include them. The bricks used in its construction were more than likely from the G.W. Robinson brickyard, the main brick and lime manufacturer in Mount Vernon at the time. Shantz's blacksmith shop was also located on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
