The Irwin home was built in 1864 for Joseph Irwin and has been enlarged and redesigned over the years. Seen today is the 1910 remodel by Architect Henry A. Phillips of Massachusetts. The old brick exterior was covered by tapestry brick with stone trim, and several new chimneys – which are now a prominent feature of the house – were added. The roof was recovered in slate and the pitch was altered, providing for a more spacious third floor. On the east a raised terrace was added to link the home to the adjoining garden.
The home now operates as a privately-owned inn.
