Tucker-Albro House

-A A +A
c. 1739. 1805 Ministerial Rd.

Facing due south, this staunch little house set low on a granite foundation is dominated by the broad, uninterrupted sweep of its simple gable roof, capped by an impressive stone chimney. Many South County central-chimney houses have chimneys made of stone, but most are finished in brick above the roofline.
