Dr. Moses Mason House, 1813-15 - Bethel, Oxford County
The Dr. Moses Mason House is a good example of the Federal style. Built facing the Bethel Common, the house is side gabled with clapboard siding. The facade is symmetrical with a centered entry. The door features sidelight windows and is topped by an elliptical filled fanlight. Pilasters supporting a band of molding frame the entry. Two internal chimneys are placed on the rear side of the roof. The front hall and stairway of the house contains Rufus Porter style murals, attributed to Jonathan D. Poor, a nephew of Rufus Porter, a prolific mural painter.
