Greek Revival
House

1836  Warren Cone House

Deacon Warren Cone, manufacturer of grass and grain scythes, built this house in 1836 in the Greek Revival style which flourished in this country in the middle decades of the 19th century. With the gable end turned toward the street, forming a pediment, houses in this style evoked the Greek temple form, white and pristine, a symbol of the ideals of the ancient Greek democracy to which Americans aspired.
