The Vickery-Baylies House is a historic house located at 56 Summer Street in Taunton, Massachusetts.
Description and history
[edit]The 2+1⁄2-story, wood-framed house was built in 1830, most likely by one of the city's local mill owners. The house is one of only two large-scale Greek Revival houses (the other is the Tisdale-Morse House) to survive from that period. Charles Vickery, whose family owned it for much of the second half of the 19th century, was the son of a ship's captain, and a merchant and banker in the city.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.[1]
