"Orford's seven Ridge houses were built over a period
of time from 1773 to 1839 by professional and business men of the town. The Bulfinch-style house
of John B. Wheeler, built in 1814-1816, southernmost in the row, was designed by a Boston architect,
probably Asher Benjamin who was then an associate of Charles Bulfinch. Other Ridge houses also
display Asher Benjamin influence." erected 1965, 1974 The Orford Street Historic District (which includes the seven houses of The Ridge) was listed on the National Register in 1977. |
