This house, in the Greek Revival style, is at 8993 Ridge Road. It was built in 1843 by Harry Harrington, a native of Vermont and consists of various colored cobblestones. Harrington served as town clerk and town justice of the peace prior to his death in 1849. It was later the Pierce residence. Several historic farm buildings are also on the property.
