While other examples of the Italianate style in Brimfield Center may have more ornament, this house represents the style well in proportion and form.

This was a time of relative prosperity for the commercial center of the town, there were a large number of new residences constructed in Brimfield Center. One of the earliest is the Goodale- Hitchcock House, 11 Warren Road, 1854 (MHC# 71). It is a two-story house under a very shallow hipped roof that approximates the flat roof of a villa. The main block of the house is two bays wide and two bays deep and is tall in proportions. The south wing has been extended and a porch on Queen Anne supports was added. The north wing was also extended by one room. A portico on consoles shelters the side hall entry of the main block. Full length sidelights and a large transom bring more light to the interior. While other examples of the Italianate style in Brimfield Center may have more ornament, this house represents the style well in proportion and form.
