One of the larger homes in Weare, New Hampshire is this sprawling mid-19th century residence, seemingly built around 1850 for Sumner Stanley and his wife, Ruth. Stanley and Ruth (née Dow) acquired land from Ruth’s family and they built their home here. By 1856, Stanley sold a small piece of land to town just to the east of his house for the construction of the North Weare Schoolhouse. The Italianate style house with its Stick style attached barn structure have some amazing detailing!

The super-wide central arch is striking. Is the front door very slightly off-center in relation to the two windows above — or am I seeing things?

I thought the same thing, it looks slightly off-center, but may just be the photo/angle.

What a difference a coat of paint would do for this impressive home, bringing out the many details that originally enhanced this structure.
