"210 Boone Street (Contributing)
Situated at 210 Boone Street is the Cottle/Britton House, constructed c. 1832 for Sherman
Cottle, The Cottle House is a two-story Federal style dwelling with an asphalt-shingled roof,
exterior weatherboard siding and a limestone foundation. The house has an end-gable plan with
interior end brick chimneys, gable returns and a primary (east) elevation one-story central porch.
Within the porch bay is a central entry with a wood panel door. Above the door is an original
transom. The porch, supported by four square columns, has a flat roof with a second-floor
balustrade surrounding a second-story entry. The upper story entrance is similar in appearance to
the first-story entry. Frame steps lead to the raised porch, which is surrounded by a frame
balustrade. Single windows of 12-over-12 lights flank the façade’s upper and lower doors. The
dwelling has a rear two-story ell. The ell supports a one-story porch on the north elevation. This
secondary porch is off-center and similar in design to the façade porch with a frame balustrade
and a second-story entry/balustrade. Two doors are situated within the north façade porch bay.
One entry faces Boone Street (north) and the second entry faces west. Both entrances hold wood
paneled doors. Side (north/south) and rear ell windows are 12-over-12 double-hung design. At
the southwest corner of the dwelling is a one-story frame wing with weatherboard siding and a
shed roof." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
