Description An account of the resource The Parson Barnard House is a sturdy, symmetrical colonial structure made of weathered wood and framed with hand-hewn timber. Its steep gabled roof, covered in gray wooden shingles, reflects a practical design suited for New England winters. The front is balanced and orderly, with five evenly spaced windows—small-paned and framed with simple trim—and a central door framed by plain pilasters and a transom. A large brick chimney rises from the center of the roof, marking the heart of the home. The house rests low to the ground, with an ell extending from the back, suggesting later additions. The overall feel is modest and functional, with little ornamentation. It sits quietly in its surroundings, bordered by simple shrubs and a stone path, embodying the practical elegance of early American life. Abstract A summary of the resource. Building History - The Parson Barnard House was built in 1715 for Reverend Thomas Barnard, the town’s minister in North Andover, Massachusetts. It served not only as his residence but also as a place for religious study and community gatherings. Over the centuries, the house remained a private home before being preserved as a historic site, offering a rare glimpse into early 18th-century colonial life in New England. Notable Architectural Detail - One notable architectural feature is the large central chimney, a hallmark of First Period colonial design. This massive brick structure anchors the house both visually and functionally, originally serving multiple fireplaces throughout the home. Its placement in the center reflects the importance of the hearth for heating and cooking, and it showcases the practical, centralized planning typical of early colonial architecture.
