Address: 305 Jones Hollow Road
Contemporary Building Name: 305 Jones Hollow Road
Historic Building Name: O. Goodrich House
Present Use: Residential
Historic Use: Residential
Architectural style: Colonial
Date constructed: 1730 (Assessor)
Description: The small house exhibits the standard Colonial front elevation of five bays with central doorway and central chimney. Windows, altered, are 2-over-2. The added small front porch is supported by turned posts under a hipped roof in the Queen Anne style. There is also a small added three-sided bay on the south elevation.
Significance: The O. Goodrich House is relatively plain and has 19th century alterations. Its chief element of significance is its age. If the Assessor is correct that it was built in 1730, the building is probably one of the oldest houses still standing in Marlborough. The 1869 atlas designates the location with the name O. Goodrich.
