Built in 1787, the home of Friend Collins and his wife, Philena Norton, is on State Street in Guilford. The house has a Greek Revival front portico, added in the 1840s. John Jackson bought the house in 1851 and operated a meat market in a side addition to the house. The addition was later replaced with a side porch.
