Stephen and Sarah Trask Pynchon House - Brimfield MA - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

The Stephen and Sarah Pynchon House, 23 Sturbridge Road, ca. 1785 (MHC# 59) is the third of the Federal-style houses that persisted in using Georgian features. It may be seen as transitional from Georgian to Federal in that there are two interior chimneys making the house center hall in plan, a Federal stylistic feature. The 2½ story house however has a steeply pitched end-gable roof, its second story windows are set high against the eaves and window lintels are capped. Windows are the smaller scale of the Georgian style and are set closely together in pairs. They now contain replacement sash. The entry surround is a 20th century fabrication. Late 19th c. photographs show it replaced a trabeated surround that was Federal in style. The house has narrow corner boards and short eaves returns.
