The 2+12-story wood-frame house was built c. 1750–70, and is a well-preserved Georgian style house. Its enclosed front entry is possibly an original feature, and there is fine period woodwork inside. Some of the walls, covered by more recent paneling, may have been stencilled. The house was for many years in the Martin family (for whom the street is named), coming into the hands of Welcome Horton in 1895. [2]
