Description and history[edit]

The Addington Gardner House stands in a rural residential area of southwestern Sherborn, at the northeast corner of Hollis Street and Western Avenue. It is a 2-12 story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a corniced entablature. Windows are simply framed, with the second-floor windows butting against the eave. A single story ell, added c. 1800 projects from the rear, connecting the house to a later carriage house. The interior timbers show evidence of 18th-century construction methods consistent with a c. 1730 construction date. Beams are exposed in the front chambers of the main block, and the left front chamber has a fireplace surround with early Second Period carving.[2]

The oldest portions of this house (possibly just the front rooms) were built c. 1730 by Addington Gardner. The house is a classic five-bay 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame structure, with a large central chimney. The house remained in the Gardner family until 1911, when it was sold to a local farmer and politician.[2]
