On Green Street at the far side (W) of the Green stand eight houses that superficially appear to be of the same period and type. The oldest (about 1810) is now the Congregational Parsonage. It was once the home of John Slater, a founder, with his brother Samuel, of the town's textile business. The house has been used as a parsonage since about 1828. It has three old mantels, two Dutch ovens, and
a winding staircase.

Greene St appears to be virtually the same as it was in 1937. The Village Green and the houses have remained intact from the description above.
