"This brick house was built around 1790 and attributed
to Jacob Davis. It retains its classic Federal entry door and surround. Note the pedimented arch and the elaborate carved details of the doorway...The horizontal bands of brick between the 1st and 2nd floors are ‘belt’ or ’drip’ courses that usually indicate a pent eave roof once was attached. This feature, seen in most 18th Century brick houses,
would help protect the windows and mortar from the weather."
