This 2+1⁄2 story wood-frame house was built in 1876 for William Hayward, a banker and business partner of the locally prominent mill owner Moses Taft.

The house is an excellent local example of Italianate styling, although its elaborate porch is a later c. 1900 modification.

The property also has a period carriage house in good condition and has been occupied by the George and Louise Kurzon family for 100 years.

[3] On October 7, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
