This contributing, 1-1/2 story,  wood frame,  vernacular residence  has received substantial  renovation and  restoration  during  the past year.   It is one of three such buildings originally  constructed c.1860 by the B.P. Burhans  Company for housing gristmill  workers.   It was later used as a home and barber shop.   The building features  a side-gabled  plan  with brick chimneys  at each  gabled end, 12/12 sash,  shed-roofed  entry  overhang,  1-story,  gabled  wings  at  each  end,  clapboard  siding,  stone  foundation   and  recent  metal  roof re-sheathing.   It retains integrity  of form and detailing to communicate  its historic  and architectural  associations  with mid-nineteenth century,  workers’ housing.

This  contributing, c.l860 vernacular,  wood  frame,  clapboard-sided   residence  has  recently  received  substantial  rehabilitation   and features  a side-gabled 1-1/2 story  plan with modern storm sash and doors. It was also constructed  by the B.P. Burhans  Company  for use as a tenant house and was one of three such houses that provided accommodation  for workers at the Burhans gristmill.
