Ellsworth-Porter House (northeast elevation) | Additional Description:
From the National Register Nomination: The Porter House Museum is a two-story red brick gable roofed Italianate structure with tower. Asymmetrical in plan, the building’s distinctive profile is enhanced by the pediment roof of its tall tower, the Queen Anne veranda with conical roofed gazebo at the front, a side bay window on the first floor and by a back porch. Less prominent but no less distinctive decorative elements include the paired brackets under the eaves, the cream-colored brick arches over the sash windows, beveled glass, stone stringcourses on the tower and the wood pediment, columns and balustrade of the veranda. The Porter House property is surrounded by a rock wall, a post 1867 addition of polychromatic stones joined by mortar.
