Additional Comments
Article cited above indicates the house was built in 1861; however, that may have been extrapolated from the fact that a house is shown on the 1861 plat. The Greens were living in Fitchburg as early as 1850 and a portion of the house could date to that time. the article also notes a large addition from the 1890s. Another addition was made to the home somewhat recently.
