This Starbuck mansion, known as the “East Brick,” is an iconic Main Street home built in 1837 in the Georgian style by whaling merchant and ship owner, Joseph Starbuck, as a gift to his son William.
Recently updated and restored this is one of the most important historic homes in the country. The current owners have undertaken an historically sensitive restoration including plaster moldings and rosettes, uncovered and restored a basement fireplace, installed a new slate roof as well as restored the brick parapets. They also researched and installed wall coverings and custom drapery fabrics typical for this period. There are 6 bedroom suites, 4 with fireplaces and all with beautiful private baths. On the third floor there is a large open room plus 2 bedrooms that share a bath.
