The house located at 131 Church St. (on the southeast corner of Church and Hurd Streets) was built pre-1900 in the Gothic Revival style. It was once the home of the Taylor family.
The 1½-storey, three-bay ‘cottage’ has a centre-hall plan and a medium-pitched, gable roof. There is a gable dormer centered in the main, gable roof. At the time of the 2000 inventory, the house had aluminum siding on wood stud framing. The original cladding was wood cove siding. It was notes that only the basic form gives some clue as to the age of the structure. Many historical features are concealed by the use of modern cladding, the replacement windows, and the many trees on the property. (1, 3)
