Scranton House

The Scranton House is located in a rural setting of northeastern Goshen, on the north side of Brook Road about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of its junction with Province Road. It is a 1+1⁄2-story Cape-style wooden structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is 53 feet (16 m) wide, with a seven-bay facade, with a 20th-century entry one bay left of center. Windows are sash, and a brick chimney rises against the right side. The house framing consists of planking (1.25 to 1.5-inch vs. a more typical 3-inch found in other Goshen plank-frame houses) oriented vertically, with dowels placed horizontally for lateral stability. A 20th-century two-car garage is attached to the left side at a recess, and the property also includes a horse barn.^[2]

The house was built about 1850, and originally was clad in vertical board-and-batten siding, with a relatively fine Greek Revival entrance surround. Both of these features survived into the mid-20th century before their replacement.^[2]
