|
This house was likely the Barteau family homestead. The 1858 Caace Map shows a "N.C. Barteau" (probably Nathan Curtis Barteau, 1810-1868) at this location. The Barteau family cemetery is just to the the northwest of this property, and Nathan is buried there. Old Barto Road is just a short distance to the east. Much of the land in the vicinity was known to be owned by the Barteau's, including the large easterly side of Little Neck from South Country Road to the Carman River.
While this house bares a striking resemblence to Historic Structure Br07.1-S, if one strips it of the front porch and additions, it is likely not the same house. Morse* identified Br07.1-S as the "Old Barteau House," being occupied by Barteaus in the 18th and early 19th centuries. This style of house was very common in the 17th and early 18th centuries, and it is likely that several similar models were to be found in Fire Place at the time.
