The Powers House is a large post and beam constructed late Colonial era building. Sheathed in unfinished clapboard siding and resting on a fieldstone foundation, the house has a hipped roof and large internal chimneys on each side. The facade is symmetrical with a central entry door. The door is framed by sidelight windows and a molded lintel. The windows are made up of multiple small panes. The eaves overhang the slightly smaller second floor windows. A one-story ell extends off the south elevation. The interior features stenciling in the front hall and faux wood graining in the kitchen and dining room. Levi Powers was an early European-American settler of Sidney, arriving shortly after 1760 after receiving a land grant to an area that consisted of heavily timbered virgin forest. The house is remarkably well preserved and has not undergone any major alterations since its construction.
Year Listed: 1979
