Less developed stylistically is the Homer-Cook-Russell House, 10 North Main Street, ca. 1870 (MHC# 15). It is, however, a house with slightly more complicated volume than the Goodale Hitchcock House. It is 2½ stories, sits on high brick foundations and has a front-gable roof and a two-story transverse gable on its east elevation for an L-shaped plan. A one-story porch wraps around the south and east facades, a later addition dating ca. 1880 with Queen Anne style porch supports and jigsaw cut brackets. The front-gabled section of the house is two bays wide. One of the bays is the main entry, which has a trabeated surround that encloses full-length sidelights, and a projecting cornice. Window lintels are capped as well. Window sash is large in scale and 6/6 in configuration. In the gable end of the house is an arched, louvered window typical of the Italianate style.
