 The two bays to the right of the entrance have been replaced by a projecting bay window with Italianate paired brackets at its cornice, and the windows left of the entrance have a curved cornice from the same period.The main entrance portico is also an Italianate addition, with jigsawn entablature and an elaborate door surround with diamond-light sidelight windows.The house was built c. 1830 by Joseph Carleton, and was at that time probably one of the grander Federal style houses in Methuen.
