This property was first home to mariner Robert Herman, who built this house in 1893. Like many Lunenburg Old Town homes, it stayed in the original family well into the twentieth century. With an full mansard roof and prominent central dormer, the Robert Herman House is a good example of Lunenburg architecture of its era, incorporating Lunenburg Vernacular and Second Empire styles.
