This double house was built in the early 1830's by Daniel Willcut. Willcut had obtained 1/3 of an acre from Justice Parsons in 1830 for $433.33 and the house seems to appear on the 1831 map.

Mr. Willcut was a prominent local mason of the mid 18th. century. He had learned his trade with Seth Strong, the town's master mason and builder of the "Round House" on this street.

The house is two-and-a-half stories in height with pedimented gable to the street. The tympanum has a large, triangular form, now board with a small modern louvered form, which originally probably served as a window. The three-bay facade is covered on the first floor by a porch with hipped roof, chamfered posts and balustrade. There is a double central entrance with transom overhead.
