Reuben Blanchard-James Boss House: (c. 1797 and 1874): Originally a standard, 5-bay, center-chimney house, built by Reuben Blanchard (1774-1848), son of Isaac Blanchard (1746-1816), who owned the Blanchard grist mill on Potter Road and gave his son this acreage. After the Civil War, veteran James Boss, who had acquired the farm in 1864, used his bonus to raise the roof and to remove original fireplaces in 1874. Restoration in 1975 included construction of a new stone center chimney and addition of 12 over 12 sash.
