History
John Stevens, a wealthy local businessman, built the house in 1842. The original house had a Greek Revival design highlighted by a full porch with columns. In 1910, the house was redesigned in the Classical Revival style, bringing it in line with contemporary trends. The house's new features included a new porch, a bay window with Classical columns, a dormer projecting from the front of the roof, and a frieze and cornice.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1992.[1]
