George Washburn House
George Washburn's house is three bays wide, with a side gable roof pierced at the ridge by two symmetrically placed chimneys. The main facade is symmetrically arranged with a central entrance flanked by a pair of elongated windows. The entry is slightly recessed, with the door flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight. The second level consists of three steeply-pitched gables, aligned above the entry and windows below. The central gable is covers a small balcony that projects, providing a sheltered area above the entry. The balcony has spindled balusters and a decorative skirt. The gable is supported by square posts, which are joined by a decorative cut-wood valance. The gable end are decorated with bargeboard, with a finial and pendants. The flanking gables are simpler, with paired narrow windows topped by carved projecting lintels. These gable ends are also decorated with bargeboard and a slightly smaller finial and pendant.
At the rear of the house is a porch that was added in 1947 and enclosed in 1962.
