BENNETT.223.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1809, the Eliza Hibben Leland House, 223 Bennett Street, is a fine example of an early 19th-century residence in the waterfront village of Mount Pleasant. The two-story frame residence has a two-tier front porch across the wide front façade, a low hipped roof, and two brick exterior chimneys centered on the front rooms of the four-room plan. The main entry and fanlight are set in a narrow round-arched surround, the second-floor entry has a simple surround, and the symmetrically placed single windows have double-hung 9/9 sash. The exterior is clad in weatherboard, roofing is standing-seam terne metal, and the shallow excavated foundation is brick (brick piers under the porch). (Fick, Part I Certification Application.)
