Prescott House Painting

A 1947 depiction of the Prescott house still standing at 181A Main St, the intersection of Chamberlain Rd (Chamberlain’s Corner). The house was originally built in 1752 by Ebenezer Prescott (1723-?), and remained in the family until the deaths of siblings Ebenezer Clyde Prescott (1891-1977) and Lucinda Evelyn Prescott (1888-1976). The color paining also has a hand drawn map on the back depicting the location of the house.

The house today, which now includes an attached barn-garage.
