24 Summer Street, the William E. Barton house (1885)
The William E. Barton house at 24 Summer Street in Ipswich was constructed in 1885, but the architectural style is similar to the earlier Greek Revival period. Vernacular Greek Revival houses were often painted white, and featured dark green shutters.
