The house, part of Maplegrove Farm, remained in the Briggs family for 151 years and remains relatively untouched by moder- nization. Architectural (1) 1 he Briggs House is a well preserved-and intact example of a mid-century amalgam of Greek Revival and Regency styles, typical of the vernacular idiom. (2) The main. north facade doorway and aIl the north and Soutri block windows retain their original glass panes and intact wood elements. (3) The late century treillage porch is a good example of the prefabrîcated production during the 11890's (4) The integral carrnage house with its double doors is an interesting feature of the original design (5) The newel caged staîrcase, window and door cas ings, doors on the ground and second f loors, and baseboard mouldings throughout the interior of the north block display exceptional craftmanship in fabrication and "graining' of the simulated wood finish. (6) The outhouse, an original feature of the property, displays many fine and delightful features from the copper plated barrel vault roof, to thie trough access hatcfl. 7) Sufficient evîdence remains of the f inely corbelled chimneys of the north block and the wooden hearth to reconstruct the hearth and chimney of the south block kitchen.
