The Adams House, 38 Sturbridge Road, ca. 1800 (MHC# 150) is the third Federal cape in the district. The center block of the clapboard-sided house is an asymmetrical five bays wide and two bays deep, and it rests on fieldstone foundations. The center entry surround has an elliptical arch, which may have contained a shallow fanlight before the arch and sidelights were filled in. The side gable, asphalt shingle roof is relatively broad; its center chimney has been altered. There is a one-story wing on the south side of the house that contains a secondary entry with a plane surround. Attached to the wing on the south is a two-bay garage.
