KING.341.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1819. James White, a merchant, mortgaged a new building on this site in 1819. Retaining many of its late-Federal features including corner quoining, window heads, and belt course, the house has a pilastered pediment that once included a tripartite window, since reduced to the current small opening. White never lived here, but Henry Loomis, a hardware merchant, had his business and residence here as early as 1819. Like many of the early-19th century buildings surviving in this part of King Street, the upstairs follows the single house plan and retains much of its original woodwork. The property formerly included a bakery and extensive outbuildings at the rear, part of the stuccoed kitchen dependency survives.
