Easily passed by on School St. This doorway is the main entrance way to the house that is right next to John Slater's house, who built the mills in the surrounding area.
From the book
"This route enters Slatersville on School Street, which passes the Village Green (R),a very attractive spot. On one side is the Congregational Church, facing south, and overlooking the buildings of the Finishing Company in a hollow to the left. On School St., the second house east of the church has an unusual doorway; there is nothing just like it in this part of the country. Over the usual side pilasters are two half-urns, with wings, and a sort of Spanish comb on top. The whole design is rather crude, and probably homemade."
