WCHR

Architecturally, 454 Pleasant Street is a remarkably well-preserved and unusually ornate example of local Queen Anne three-decker design. Built in 1892, the John Wescott three-decker possesses integrity of location, design and workmanship, and still offers many original features. The exterior is cedar shingles, and the roof is slate. The interior still boasts hardwood floors, natural woodwork (mahogany), a handsome three-story staircase, and French doors.

The house stood vacant from 1994 until purchased by WCHR in 2000. Badly damaged from water and pigeons, the house was renovated from 2000-2001 and restored to its original grandeur. Each level provides three bedrooms, living room, full dining room, kitchen and original pantry. The floor plans were adjusted to offer more spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, along with new plumbing, new electricity and new heating systems. The full basement offers washer/dryer hookups. Off-street parking is available at the rear of the building.
