Gad Hitchcock House - Brimfield MA - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

The Gad Hitchcock House, 33 Sturbridge Road, ca. 1794 (MHC# 63) is a good example of the conservative Federal style favored in Brimfield. The clapboard-sided house has fieldstone foundations. Windows in the five bay west façade are small and set closer together in the outer bays in Georgian fashion. On the second story they are placed close to the eaves as was done prior to 1776. Sash is a mixture of 6/6 and 12/8. The end-gable roof as a shallow Federal pitch but has a re-built center chimney – the placement favored during the Georgian period. The house is 2½ stories in height and there is a one-story, shed roof extension on the east. The house has wide corner boards and an added shed-roof porch on Queen Anne posts on the front. The center entry has a simple trabeated surround and full-length sidelights.
