This large, two story frame house, decorated with Neoclassical Revival features of Ionic columns on the wraparound porch, pedi- mented gabled wings, and a Palladian window in the front attic dormer, was built for the Phipps family early in this century. The house was sold around 1920 to John Moore, who later sold a portion of the property as two adjacent lots to the east. Subsequent owners include W.W. Weaver, who purchased the Durham Sun in the 1910s, and a Mr. Tilley, who renovated the house prior to 1975.
