Windswept Acres-Powers House
Description and history
Windswept Acres is located in a rural setting in southern Goshen, on the east side of New Hampshire Route 31 about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 10. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style plank-frame house, seven bays wide, with a gabled roof and shingled exterior. Its front entry is off-center, and is framed by simple molding and topped by a four-light transom window. There are two sash windows to its left and four to its right. A three-bay ell extends from the south of the main block, and there is an enclosed porch attached to the rear. A garage is connected to the north side of the house by a breezeway.
Built about 1800, the house is one of the oldest houses in Goshen. It is built with a distinctive horizontal plank framing method (as distinguished from other local examples where the framing is vertical) laid across a more typical box frame.
