John Sheldon House
The John Sheldon House is an excellent example of house construction of the late 17th century. Its antiquity is evident in the type of framing of the structure, i.e. the lack of a ridge pole, the oak gunstock supporting posts in the second story, the huge pine beams framing the ceilings, the extremely wide boards used in the feather-edge panelling. Most of the original hinges and door latches are still in place. The more formal raised-block panelling in some of the rooms was added about 1750, along with matching panelled interior shutters.
