History
In 1860 Dr. Phillip Worley built a residence for his family in the 400 block of Brady Street. At the same time he built the one-story structure that is attached to the north side of the house to serve as his office. It is now a garage. By 1910 the Worley family no longer lived the residence and it was being used as a boarding house.[2] The building is currently being used by the business in the neighboring building.
Architecture
The Worley House is a two-story, Greek Revival, brick building that was built on what is likely a stone foundation. The Greek revival elements, which is why is residence is considered significant, include a boxy form, side-gable roof line, elongated first story windows, and hipped porch roof.[2] The home also features an off-center front entrance and two windows on the first floor. There are three windows on the second floor that line up with the openings of the first. Wood shutters frame the sides of all the windows.
