408 Maple Street, known as the William Burr House, built in the late 1890's in a style now called picturesque.  This designation is advanced when a building contains a number of diverse architectural elements.  With all the elaborate wood work on the facade the "Stick Style", a popular turn of century building feature projects the building's strongest view.  The large recessed piazzas provided protection from the elements.  The second floor piazza may have been used for sleeping although it would have been a bit noisy as the structure faced the then busy railroad tracks.  Impressive houses in small towns often faced the then popular railroad.  This is an impressive Auburn house complete with near period dependencies.
