DescriptionThe house was built between 1830-35 for Lucious Alexander, well-to-do mill owner of Grafton; About 1840 the place was bought by Thomas Davis, who enlarged it and ran it as the Eagle Inn; the house is brick with a two story porch; Each floor level is carried out to form a piazza at that level while In the gable end is a balcony framed by a wide arch of the pediment; The inner wall is pierced with a door and two windows, suggesting that the builder intended a ball room on the attic floor but if so it was never finished; the house is surrounded by trees and bushes, and has a small wooden fence, some of it white, surrounding the property.On View
