Seymour Moses House, 60 Lovely Street

Seymour Moses House, c. 1860. Greek Revival style with wood clapboard siding and heavy trim accents. The pronounced gable front façade and bay window with large projecting soffits, eves, frieze boards, moldings, cornice returns, pilasters and the exaggerated entablature surrounding the front entry door are classic Greek Revival features. The windows and doors are newer but are typical of the original period of construction.

Seymour Moses and his wife, Harriet Mills, were active members of the Canton Center Congregational Church and later, the First Congregational Church of Cornwall. They were dismissed from both churches. In 1861 Moses purchased land from Albert Hills. The house was built between 1861 and 1866. Seymour acted as a deacon of the First Church of Christ Congregational in Unionville. In 1869, after a new Pastor was installed, Moses and Harriet Mills moved. The property was purchased by William Delaney an owner of the Delaney and Munson Paper Company.
