A stuccoed brick mansion goes up on high ground in what is known as Hamilton Park
The Pritchard House was built around 1845 of stuccoed brick with stone trim, a late Greek Revival mansion with Italianate touches. Its southwest wing and porch were remodeled with round-arched windows, a balcony and a trefoil motif cut in wood. A low hipped roof on paired brackets rises to a central monitor whose low windows light the attic rooms.

March 19
The Landmarks Preservation Commission designates the Pritchard House a city landmark
The commission designated the house on March 19, 1968, after two public hearings, on September 13 and November 10, 1966. Five witnesses spoke for designation at the first hearing and three testified at the second, and the owner said he favored it. The commission called the house an outstanding Greek Revival mansion showing later Italianate influence, with superb details executed by superior craftsmen.
“Five witnesses spoke in favor of designation. The Commission continued the public hearing until November 10, 1966…”
