Captain Isaac Peterson House

Historically, there was a small sitting porch on the south elevation, but it was enclosed in the 1920s and made part of the interior living space.

The home's exterior is covered in vinyl siding, and features ornate Italianate brackets and a reconstructed cupola crowning the hipped roof.

Although the Captain Edward Compton House no longer has its cupola, the two were near copies of each other at the time of construction, both in plan, massing, exterior appearance, and interior decoration.

[3] The current owners have focused their efforts on restoring the house to ensure its continued livability and legacy.

Since purchasing the Captain Peterson House several decades ago, the owners have re-built and installed a cupola similar to the one seen in a 1910 postcard photograph,[4] as well as made countless other as-needed alterations and renovations based on historic evidence and modern need.
