At 233 Millstream Road in Hebron is a distinctive Greek Revival-style house that was erected circa 1845. The house features a ground-floor verandah that is inset under part of the second floor and there are matching ells that extend on the north and south sides. The facade has square columns and matching pilasters. A notable feature of the home are three triangular windows that radiate in a sunburst pattern and are surrounded by clapboards applied on a diagonal cap with an elaborate keystone. These are located in the building’s triangular front-facing gable and in the gables of the north and south ells. The house was built on a property that was once the site of a gristmill built in 1735 and operated by Godfrey Tarbox and Son. The property was eventually acquired by the Crouch family and was later owned by the Strong and Rathbone families.
