description

Summary

The old Phelps House was built c.1720 on Harvard Road. Originally, the exterior was plastered in imitation of granite. With exposure to the elements, it developed a discolored and weather-beaten look, making it appear very ancient. The last of the family to occupy the house was William Phelps. Born there in 1805, he lived to be over 90 years of age.
