- Description
-
John and Merril Dutton have owned their home since June 1979. Built in 1868, The Dutton House is a three-story wood framed home. When it was built it had only two rooms on the first and second floors and one room on the third floor. The kitchen was added later. This house was originally for tenants who worked on the local farm. Its exterior appearance is similar to the farmhouse located on 2nd and Edgmont Streets.
In 1999, the Duttons added a two-story stand-alone structure that included a 2/1/2 garage and art studio. In 2015 the kitchen and dining rooms were merged into one large, expanded kitchen. Over more than 45 years they have painted the exterior of the house and maintained its original beauty and charm.
In 2008 the Media Historical Society awarded a bronze plaque to The Dutton House as part of their annual awards banquet, April 16, 2008. The plaque reads: Media Historical Society, Historic Treasure, 1868 The First Structure was Built. - Creator
