Higgins hodgeman house top 5 facts
The Higgins-Hodgeman House is a historic house located at 19 Cedar Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1880 for L.B. Higgins, a merchant who operated a dry goods business downtown. The 2-1/2 story frame house is considered one of the best examples of Stick style architecture in the city. It is roughly rectangular, with a hip roof whose cornice is decorated with Stick style brackets. A gabled section projects slightly on the left side of the front facade, with a projecting bay window at the first floor. The right side of the front is taken up by a hip-roof porch, supported by turned posts, and with a decorative valence. It has retained much of its original wood details and clapboard siding.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
