This handsome cottage is thought to be antebellum, according to a marker on the property, though other sources, including tax digests and real estate listings, variously date it to 1880 and 1900. I agree with the mid-19th century date, focusing on the transom and sidelights, as well as the higher ceiling and 6-over-9 windows. It’s an excellent design, utilitarian and dressed up all at the same time, and has been expanded over time.
