It is a 19th-century brick home that was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1982 as "the finest mid-centuryItalianate structure in the area."It is a two-story, five-bay brick house on a stone foundation. The centrally-located doorway, behind a shed-roofed
porch with two decorative piers, has anarch ed transom and four-paneled sidelights. All the windows have segmented arched bricklintel s and shutters. Thegable d roofline is distinguished by amodillion edcornice , and is pierced by two brickchimney s on the south and one large one at a cross-gable on the north. A rear wing has been added since the house was built.Local
property tax records suggest the house was built in 1868. It does not appear on the first map of Nelsonville, in 1867, but is on an 1876 version. There, its owner is identified as J. and B. Secor. Local builder E. Ferris, with whom Secor co-owned another property in town, is noted as being active in that area of the village on the earlier map. He is thus considered likely to have built 3 Crown Street.Since the Secors, it has been through a number of owners, mainly
physician s. They have collectively made very little change to the house.References
