Description and history

It was built in about 1798 for Abiezar Dean. The 2 12-story structure features brick ends, four symmetrically placed chimneys, and a classically detailed front entrance.

In 1905, the house was purchased by George Hartshorn, who added the east and west wings and dormers. In 1915 the east wing was removed and relocated to nearby Longmeadow Road and converted into a residence.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984. It currently functions as a nursing home.
