Alley House

The Greek Revival house at 572 Main Street in Plymouth is home to the Plymouth Historical Society. Their website states that it was built in the mid-nineteenth century. Another article gives the date as 1853. It was built by A.C. Shelton, of the Shelton and Tuttle Carriage Company, for his niece. The property was later known as the Burr Farm and then belonged to the Alley family.

The Plymouth Historical Society property also has the Toll House Museum. Built in the early nineteenth century, the Toll House now houses an 1852 Woodruff and Beach steam engine that powered the Shelton & Tuttle Carriage factory:
