Levi Foss House, c.1815 - Dayton, York County

Located in the village of Goodwins Mills in Dayton, the Levi Foss House features the Federal style with later Greek Revival-style additions. The timber-framed dwelling is one story with a gable roof and a side ell that includes a shed and barn. The entire structure is sheathed in clapboard siding except for the rear wall of the ell which has wood shingles. The central front entrance is contained in a pedimented vestibule and is framed with pilasters and sidelights. Other features include a Greek Revival-style cornice at each end of the barn and moldings around the windows. The interior woodwork is distinctive with fluted moldings and symmetrical corner blocks around the doors and windows and a central staircase with meticulously turned newel posts and a molded handrail mounted on square balusters. It is currently a private residence.
