96 & 98 Barre Street, c. 1880.

Wood frame, vinyl clapboarded, 2 ½ stories, gable roof sheathed in slate, 2 brick chimneys. This Queen Anne style house has a front bay capped by a steeply pitched wedge-shaped roof containing a steeply gabled dormer supported on turned posts. This dormer has a round-headed window. The house has a cross gable ell with a two story projecting bay. The tower, ell and parts of the main roof have bracketed cornices. The windows have one-over-one light sash, some paired, some in larger picture windows on the first floor. The house has a one-story circular porch with turned posts, railing and valence on the right side and a one-story porch with Tuscan columns and shingled solid balustrade on the left side. Originally, horizontal molded bands were at all window sill levels and at the second and third story window lintel level but these are covered by vinyl siding. The house has incised bargeboards. Between the 1909 and 1915 Sanborn maps, the house became a duplex.
