It is believed that the Ross & Ross building were contiguous to the Mansion House and part of Washington’s headquarters. The Mansion House suffered a fire in the last century and was subsequently torn down. The Ross & Ross building was damaged by that fire but not destroyed. Today it is likely the oldest structure on Main Street.

The bronze statute located in the center of the Green was erected in 1924 and depicts an unidentified Minute Man.

The building, while it has been renovated numerous times since its construction, was originally constructed in the early 1700’s.
