Statement of Significance (as of designation - November 11, 1971):
Built in 1755 for George Tate, Mast Agent for the Royal Navy, this five bay, 2-1/2 story frame house has a symmetrical Georgian facade, and a clerestory gambrel roof that is one of only two extant examples of this once fairly common type. Its austere exterior and lavish interior trim represent the colonial frontier economy.
