Further south on Main Street, on the opposite side from the House of Laird, sits an imposing house from 1837 owned and restored by Cmdr. and Mrs. Richard W. Arey. It presides on a hill overlooking life along the thoroughfare.

It features fine details such as its fanlight of leaded glass over the entrance door and plaster ceiling moldings.

Of special interest is the early dependency of beaded clapboard in the yard which was the office of Dr. Rawley White Martin who bought the estate in 1873.
