Carroll, Edward, House - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The first section of this house was built c. 1857, and it was a two-story, four room, frame house with a one-story rear kitchen wing. In about 1867, owner John McCullough Foster built a two-story, eight room addition to the front wing. It was constructed of brick in the Italianate style, and he also enclosed the original frame dwelling in brick. In 1882 the farm and property were sold to banker Lucien Scott and his wife Julia. They added the north wing, cupolas on the roofs, the front and other frame porches, and installed plumbing and gas lighting at a cost of approximately $50,000. The architectural style of the home is Victorian, with Italianate influences. An upper story porch is centered above the wrap around porch in the south side. The foundation is stone.
