This is a beautiful house with lots of property on either side of it. I loved the contrast of the black shutter against the white siding. Definitely one of my favorite houses on Main Street. There are several other kinds of these houses all over the place. A spacious porch, with rocking chairs and ornate trim make this period perfect, The house is located at 309 Main Street.
