The Eleazar Wheelock Society writes of the old Wheelock Mansion House on West Wheelock Street:

In 2012, the directors of EWS saw a vision for the restoration of the house into a community of Christians committed to challenging each other to grow intellectually and spirituality, and to make the home a beacon of radical hospitality to the Dartmouth campus. In November of 2015, EWS finally purchased the house to begin to make this vision reality.

The society is having Smith & Vansant Architects restore the Colonial Revival appearance of the building’s 1899-1900 Charles A. Rich front facade. The group has a video with a rendering of the proposed front facade:

Compare to a recent Google Street View:

The house looked quite different during Wheelock’s time, of course: it was located on a different site and had a gambrel roof. The bow windows on the sides also postdate the Colonial period.

The handsome rear ell of brick hints at the building’s one-time function as the Howe Library. It served as the town library for about 74 years. The 1914–1915 stack addition is believed to have been designed by Boston architect Curtis William Bixby. The society plans to demolish the addition and replace it with an apartment addition (Planning Board minutes 6 March 2018 pdf).
