31 Main Street, Durham

The Bela Davis House at 31 Main Street (formerly 12 Main Street) in Durham has a Greek Revival central doorway and Greek Revival cornice returns on the gable ends. The house was built in 1865 by farmer Bela Davis (1800-1887) who had purchased seven acres from Zebulon Hale. He owned the house for ten years.

    It seems like this house is older than 1865. The building type isn’t what would have been built at that time.

    In fact after looking at the street view I’m thinking early 1800’s center chimney.
