====== J.H. Walton House (BE 334) ======
Constructed c.[[1860]]-[[1870]], the Walton residence is imposing brick I-house in the Italianate style. The five-bay front is embellished with paired cornice brackets, paneled fascia, and a formal entrance with multi-pane sidelights. The 6/6 windows retain original shutters. Near the house stands a gabled brick outbuilding that may have been a wash house or kitchen.
