\nThis was printed in Bicknell\u2019s History of the Town of Barrington<\/i> (1898) and reprinted in his Sowams<\/i> ten years later. Note the original roofline (now altered) of the 1857 addition at left; the roof access hatch by main chimney (still visible from inside, under modern roof); working shutters on windows \u000band front door; lights and pediment over door (the door’s shutters are obscuring the fluted pilasters); original 6-over-6 windows visible on both main house and addition. At this time, the house was still two legally distinct properties, with the west wing (the addition) owned and occupied by General Allin’s great-grandson Thomas C. Cooke. The main house, however, had left the family in 1830.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
