A 40-year span for a construction date of the Williams-Morgan House, 9 Main Street, ca. 1750- 90s, (MHC# 5) is too wide to place the house firmly in the Georgian period. It does, however, have the form and many of the details of the Georgian style. It is 2½ stories in height with an end-gable roof that has a substantial pitch. The main block of the center-chimney house is five bays wide and two bays deep; its saltbox extension is a 1976 addition. Now vinyl-sided, the house has low granite foundations and an asphalt shingle roof. Windows are set close to the eaves in Georgian fashion and replacement sash in the small-scale windows is 12/12. The windows on the entry façade are paired on the outer two bays as at the Elm Tree House on Brookfield Road. Photographs show that the center entrance surround dates from a later
alteration, replacing a simpler trabeated surround.
