The Wentworth-Barrett House was one of the first to be erected in the newly established town. Built for Captain Samuel Wentworth, it was restored in the 1950s. One and one-half stories in height and of Flemish bond brick construction, the house is flanked by two end chimneys. The east chimney is T shaped. The central front door is accessed by a brick stairway that arches over the entrance to the English basement below.
