Aldrich-Genella House - National Register of Historic Places
Statement of Significance The Aldrich-Genella House is significant in the area of architecture as probably the finest residential example of Second Empire architecture in the state.

A full two and one-half story height which reaches three and one-half stories at the tower 3. A wide variety of windows including four different dormer designs 4. A side wing which is played off against the tower to give a boldly three-dimensional effect
