House, 120 East Elm Street This Federal style brick home, built in 1824 and later altered to the Vernacular, was the first house built by Gerard Bancroft, the great grandson of the founder of Granville, Mass. Bancroft began the manufacture of molding planes in his early years and in 1836 built a planning mill at the rear of his home where he and Ebenezer Crawford conducted a thriving business making furniture and coffins.
