The Bliss-Brown House, 9 Warren Road, ca. 1820 (MHC #70) is one of the best preserved of the Center’s Federal houses. It is also one of the four hipped roof Federal houses, in this case with four interior chimneys and brick end walls. The two-story house is five bays wide and two bays deep and has wide corner boards that help confirm its ca. 1820 date with their early Greek Revival appearance. The house is entered through a hipped roof portico on columns, which shelters the main entry, a leaded glass fanlight and half-length sidelights. The house has granite foundations and an asphalt shingle roof. Sash is 6/6. Forming a farmyard from its position south and west of the house is a New England style sidehill barn that dates ca. 1820.
