Church Street View of Church Street looking south: The residence on the right is theWilliam Avery House. It was built in 1821 in the Federal style; fan window over door, low hip roof, identical façade on two sides, ell connecting house to barn. William Avery was a shipmaster and merchant. When it was built, this was the last house on Church Street, which ended at the town common. Seen on the left (partially obscured by a tree) is the Major Timothy Chase House which was built in 1838 in the Transitional Federal/Greek Revival; full with brick construction with wood and stone trim. Major Chase and Phineas Parkhurst Quimby fabricated the clock that the town voted in 1836 to place in the tower of the First Church.
