• Notes

  Listed in 1771 Census of Westminster, Cumberland Co., New York 41. Averill - Whittle House; c.1795.   This house is one of the most architecturally significant, best preserved, and perhaps oldest house in the district.   A tradition recorded as early as the 1870's states that Asa Averill (1739-1825) lived in this house, suggesting that it was probably built in the late 18th century. Averill may have lived in what is now the ell.   There is some internal evidence that the main block once had a central chimney, and that, therefore, its interior was remodeled to the present central hall plan. The entrance and six-over-six windows were probably added in the mid-19th century, while the porches appear to date to the late 19th century. There is some internal evidence that the ell was extended to the rear. Interior clapboarding reveals that the garage postdates the barn. In the mid 20th century, vinyl siding was installed parts of the barn and the garage. The early 1980's saw the addition of a Dutch door and a casement window on the main block's rear facade and of overhead garage doors in the garage   (Westminster Village Historic District - National Register Nomination Information) For more information see the Our Folk - Hart family Web Site
