Description and history edit
The oldest portion of this 1+1⁄2-story, Cape style house was built between 1738 and 1759, and is one of the oldest and least-altered structures in the town. A rear ell was added between 1775 and 1825, and a new kitchen wing was added in about 1830 to the east end. The original house was probably built by Deacon Ezekiel Read or his son, Ezekiel Jr. The house was in the hands of the Allen family from 1759 to 1895.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1983.[1]
