History

"The Little White House" Amy Sprague was born in this house and married William Vinton. It was built in 1790 when Public Street was merely a cart path in the midst of grazing land. When the street was cut through, it left the little house on a slight elevation. There was a garden carefully tended by Miss Julia A. Degnan who purchased the house in 1933 from Ethel Vinton.
