This stately Federal house was built in 1823 for Rudolphus B. Johnson, a merchant, whaler and owner of a local wharf in town. The two and a half story house with five bay facade is framed with quoins and topped with a hipped roof and monitor. The center entry is elaborate with an elliptical blind fan above the door, fluted pilaster strips and a prominent lintel shelf.
