Description and history

The 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1858 by Charles Baxter, a housewright, who sold it soon thereafter to Nelson Rhodehouse, a mariner. ^[2] The house is a fine example of Greek Revival style, with a distinctive side entrance located in a porch that is recessed under the gable. The house is finished in flushboarding, giving the appearance of masonry, with corner pilasters. ^[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987. ^[1]
