52. J. C. Adams House, c. 1850 - C River Road
The J. C. Adams House is a two-and-a-half-story frame dwelling with a three-bay gabled facade. It has a one-and-a-half-story ell and a newly constructed rear wing. The front elevation is composed of a Greek Revival style side entrance and a pair of six-over-six windows on the first story, a trio of similar windows in the second story, and a single unit below the gable peak. Narrow bracketed hoods shelter these windows. The side el~vations are organized into three bays each. The house is sheathed in weatherboards, and it rests on a granite foundatioh.
On the 1861 wall map, J. C. Adams is indicated as the occupant of this dwelling. He was probably also residing here in 1881, although the atlas map reports his initials as C. J. Adams' occupation has not been determined.
