Two identical frame houses go up side by side, built by Alexander Lounsberry
This house and its neighbor at No. 343 were built as an identical pair in 1830-31 for Alexander Lounsberry, on leased land that belonged to the Gunn estate. Both are frame buildings with Flemish-bond brick fronts, three stories high, simple cornices and stores at street level. The district report praises them as plain local-style houses whose charm lies in their simplicity.
