From the Boynton Street Historic District National Register Nomination Form:
The Boynton Street Historic District consists of a group of three Federal style residential buildings dating from 1810-1822. All three houses are similar in materials, plan and styling. Each is two stories high with a low pitched hipped roof and clapboard siding. The principal facades are five bays wide with a central entrance.
The distinctive feature of each house is the doorway. The Stetson House has leaded glass sidelights and fanlight enframed by fluted pilasters and a segmental arched transom with incised geometrical designs. The leaded glass fanlight over the Kilby House door is round arched. It is enframed by large fluted pilasters supporting a full entablature. Similarly, the Weston House has a round arched fanlight and smaller pilasters supporting a cornice.
All three houses contain extensive original interior woodwork dating from the Federal period. The boundaries of the district are delineated to include all structures connected by time and scale to the historical development of the area.
