Inscription. David P. Noyes built this grand example of Greek Revival architecture in 1835. Later, the house became the home and office of one of the village's first doctors, Dr. Calcagni. The most outstanding feature of the house is its granite-framed doorway. Within the granite is a door flanked by delicate wooden Ionic columns and sidelights and topped by an intricately designed stained-glass fan light. Every window on the façade also has a granite lintel. In the center of the roof is a white wooden pediment. This classic motif complements the light, centrally-located doorway, creating a strong central focus. A 1½-story wood frame building was later added to the main brick structure.

that expanded the original Morrisville Historic District in 2007:

David P. Noyes established a clothing mill and became Morrisville's second general merchant when he built the impressive brick Greek Revival style Noyes General Store (#36) on Lower Main Street about 1820. Noyes was a member of the Masonic Lodge and also served in the Vermont Legislature (1832-33, 1838) and Senate (1853-55). In 1866 Noyes sold both the Store (#36) and the second Noves House (#38) to George J. Slayton and Charles M. Peck; Peck sold his interest to Slayton in 1873 and the properties stayed in the Slayton family until Henry A. Slayton's death in 1932.
