Phoebe Upham Store - Brimfield MA - Pre-Victorian Historic Homes on Waymarking.com

This is a small Federal style cottage which has a rather unusual elevation being four bays wide and four bays deep rather than the more usual five by two or three. It is one and a half stories in height and has the typical Federal second story knee-high windows. Sash has all been replaced and the building is vinyl sided. There is a hipped roof portico over the central entrance and there are two interior chimneys on the end gable roof. On the north facade is an attached two bay garage which may originally have been the kitchen ell.

What is more certain is that for many years in the 1910s, until her death in 1924, it was the home of Miss Phoebe Upham who kept a store in her front room and stocked a large number of general store items from workmen's overalls to candy for the children of the Center who were going to school nearby at the Academy and at the Center school.
