At 3.1 m. is the junction with Parker St. Right 0.4 m. on this street is the Mathurin Ballou House (not open), built in 1710 and later reconstructed, simple in style, with a heavy wood lintel overhanging the doorways to give protection from the weather; the windows are irregularly spaced, as if very often the case to fulfil the practical considerations of the interior.

At first I didn't think this was the house when I first prepared the post, however I found Ballou Family website that confirmed this was the place. The house sits amid houses that date well into the late 20th century. The tree in the front yard that has died may well be as old as the house.
