One of the documented Federal houses built by Jesse Hitchcock is his house at 19 Main Street 1819 (MHC #7). Here the conservative center chimney long-used in Brimfield has been replaced by two interior chimneys and with this change the house became center hall in plan. The building is 2½ stories in height and has an end-gable roof. It rests on granite foundations and retains its clapboard siding. It is five bays wide and two bays deep and there is a two-story ell on the south connected to a 1½-story garage. The house is entered from a center portico on chamfered posts with wide capitals supporting a plain entablature and flat roof. First floor windows have capped lintels and sash is 2/2.
