Edmund King House
The Federal-style house is two stories, and built of brick laid in English bond. The central main entrance is topped with a four-light transom. The entrance and flanking windows are spanned with flat, flared arches which are stuccoed to resemble stone. Windows on the ground floor are nine-over-six sashes, with six-over-six sashes on the upper floor. The interior is a center-hall plan, with two rooms on either side of a central hallway on both floors. Each room contains an Adamesque fireplace mantel. The exterior was stuccoed and scored to imitate stone in the mid-19th century, and a front portico and rear ell were also later additions. These features were removed in a 1973–74 restoration.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
