The 1836 Adams Norcross House (26 Main Street, UPT #29), which has two five-bay elevations, with the north side (hipped roof) being two rooms deep and the south side (gabled end) being one room deep. The Main Street entry is similar to that of the Elijah Nelson II House (described above) with three-quarter lights and flanking paneled pilasters carrying a deep entablature with projecting cornice. The Norcross House retains its six-panel door. Projecting from the north side is an open porch carried by turned posts, shielding the middle three bays. Windows have 6/6 sash set in narrow frames; those on the first story have slightly projecting cornice moldings that have been added in the last 20 years.
