Original Description (from Book): This is one of the earliest houses on the street and was built by Isaac Goddin in 1820-21. It was later owned by James Taylor and has been altered in a very interesting way. The small house was doubled in size and changed from a Federal style farmhouse into an Italianate villa. The triple windows, typical of the Federal style, were later joined as arch Italian windows.
