<strong><em>Neoclassical style -</em></strong>
The Neoclassical style found in Eaton Corner is influenced by American building fashions. Like the Cape style, this style also features a straight gable roof (with an average pitch of 45 degrees, with a low kneewall), a gallery with separate roof, symmetrically aligned doors and windows, and four windows on the gable wall. Notice the ell on the house pictured here, which has been extended at a right angle to the house, the porches (with pillars), and the white clapboard. Dr. George Wheelock Powers bought land from Asa Alger in 1863 on which to build this house. Powers had a medical practice here and kept very ill patients in the upstairs bedrooms. This home was restored by the current owners to its neoclassical beauty. Notice the eave returns, the trim around the window, the corner boards, and the two roofed porches. (Photo - CCHMS)
