It is clapboarded, sits on a rise about 100 feet from the road, and has related farm outbuildings.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is Rehoboth's most outstanding example of an end chimney Greek Revival cottage, reflecting its origin as a farmhouse. It shows the evolution of the 18th century center chimney cottage type into a characteristically 19th century structure. It meets criterion C individually.","narrative":"This farmhouse at 30 Kelton Street in Rehoboth dates to about 1835 and is built in the Greek Revival style. It sits on a rise about 100 feet from the road, with its gable flank facing the street. A center entrance with sidelights and flanking Doric pilasters opens onto a straight staircase and central hall. Two enclosed end chimneys and a third chimney at the kitchen ell give the house its plan, and its unusual L-shaped cellar served as a summer kitchen, with a fireplace, boiler and two bake ovens. Farm outbuildings include a garage, a shed and a turn-of-the-century horse barn, plus a barn foundation, stone corn crib supports and a stone-lined well. Map evidence suggests L. Bowen owned it in 1850 and 1871, and Edward L. Tracy by 1895. It was listed as Rehoboth's most outstanding end chimney Greek Revival cottage, showing how an older cottage form became a 19th century farmhouse.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architect unknown; possibly built by L.
