Description and history
The Edward H. Lane House is located just outside Littleton's commercial downtown area, on the east side of Cottage Street (U.S. Route 302) just south of the Ammonoosuc River. It is a somewhat typical connected New England farmstead, with a main house joined to a barn by a number of additions. The oldest portion of the farmstead is a 1+1⁄2 story wood frame Cape-style structure built c. 1830–50 in the Greek Revival period. It is now an ell to the larger Queen Anne main house, a more elaborately decorated 2+1⁄2 story wood-frame structure with turret and decorated gables. The older portion is joined to a late 19th century barn by a third addition.[2]
The building reflects Littleton's growing prosperity during the 19th century. The oldest portion is a relatively modest structure suitable for what was at the time a primarily agrarian community. When Littleton's industries boomed in the late 19th century, the prosperity made possible the construction of the much larger and more elaborate front section, with its finely detailed cornices and porches.[2] The building now houses apartments.
