ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE (Describe important architectural features and <br /> evaluate in terms of other buildings within the community.) <br /> This house combines features which derive from the Georgian and Federal <br /> periods, but does not forego the shingled finish and bay windows of late <br /> nineteenth century architecture. There is an entrance portico with elliptically- <br /> arched opening below an open pediment with denticular cornice and paired slim <br /> supporting columns. There are leaded glass side- and fanlights at the doorway. <br /> HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE (Explain the role owners played in local or state <br /> history and how the building relates to the development of the community.) <br /> The house was built by Charles Willard Kettell , a mechanical engineer. <br /> BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES (name of publication, author, date and publisher) <br /> Hudson, Charles.
