Believed to have been built in 1880 by Harvey S. Cole, this house was lived in by members of the Cole family until 1996. In fact "Cole Avenue" is named in recognition of the family's long-lasting presence on the street. This historic home represents the best of fine home building in the Victorian era, including stained glass windows, deep crown moldings, elaborate wood carving, high-peaked roofs, gingerbread trim, fine spindlework, scalloped shings, and fan design details. Along with its traditional "painted lady" paint combination, this house is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the time. Now refreshed and updated for today's lifestyle, this elegant home will continue to be a significant landmark in Williamstown's history for generations to come.
