Walker, Obil House - Upton MA - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

The 1827 Obil Walker House (16 Main Street, UPT #24) appears to be a five-bay, center-entry dwelling with a two-bay wing on the same plane as the façade; however, the first three bays from the north, including one of Upton’s typical entry fans over the door, is two cells deep, while the other four bays are capped by a roof spanning only one cell (room). The remaining distinctive features are the entry with three-quarter sidelights, fluted pilasters, and a louvered fan, the molded window casings, and some of the 12/8 second-story window sash. Only the outline of the cornice or lintel that once projected over the louvered fan remains. Asbestos shingles cover the exterior walls of the house.
