Samuel Carson owns the lot when 324 State Street is built in the mid-1870s, the last house on its side of the street
No. 324 was the last house built on its side of State Street, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission judged from its style that it dates to the mid-1870s. The property belonged to Samuel Carson when the house was built.
“The property was owned by Samuel Carson when the house was built. Stylistically it appears to date from the mid-1870s.”

Ann Augusta Tirrill buys 324 State Street, and a projecting oriel may have been added after her purchase
Samuel Carson sold the property to Ann Augusta Tirrill in 1884. The late Italianate brick house has a three-sided projecting oriel above its entrance, which the Commission called the most striking element of the facade. Oriels like it are not ordinarily found on Italianate houses, so the Commission suggested it was added after Miss Tirrill took ownership. Swag-decorated panels, spiral moldings and egg-and-dart molding adorn it.
“…it may have been added after Miss Tirrill bought the house in 1884.”

“…the 324 State Street House is a fine example of the late Italianate style of architecture, that it is a handsome house…”
