    Built about 1828 for Lewis Richards, the house had three stories under a peaked attic roof until the mid-1960s. In 1966 owner Edward H. Macaulay had it renovated by Jacob and Donald D. Fisher as a ground-floor store with two apartments above, one of them a duplex. The building's present look likely dates from that job.
