"Historic 2½ story twin dwellings, built by John Shivers in 1838, at about the same time he built three brick houses for General John Clement, next to the Indian King Tavern. Excellently restored by present owners from decaying property to one of the most handsome on Kings Highway. Original narrow wood siding, curved dormers in roof, 6 over 6 divided lights in original windows, both floors. Porticoed entrance in the classic style leading up several steps from pavement. Landscaped strip in front."
