Cooper-Remington House (1820 with later additions): A very handsome 2-1/2-story, flank-gable-roof, clapboard Federal dwelling with a 1-1/2-story, Late Victorian ell on the southeast side and a rear corner ell. The main block has a symmetrical facade containing a central entrance. This entrance, surmounted by a transom and framed by architrave trim, is sheltered by a hip-roof
portico supported by colonettes with exaggerated entasis. The front and rear cornice, under deep eaves with gable-end returns, is ornamented with a running pattern of lozenges and square blocks beneath a drilled and incised rope mold. The massive brick center
chimney contains a date stone carved with the year "1820." A side entrance is set within a glazed, end gable, turned-post portico. The side ell is fronted by a projecting central entrance vestibule. The property also contains a mid-19th-century wellhead (C), two sheds, (C) and a garage (NC). The house was built for Daniel Cooper. It was purchased in 1897 by Clinton O. Remington, a member of a locally prominent family. The Remingtons operated a general store in the village and still operate a lumberyard here.
