==Description and history==
The Capron House is prominently located at the corner of Capron and Mendon Streets (Massachusetts Route 16), a short way east east of Uxbridge's downtown area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard-style truncated hip roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its main facade, facing southeast, is three bays wide, sheltered by a highly-decorated open porch that joins the space between flanking polygonal window bays. A gable breaks the roof line above the entrance, and is decorated with Gothic woodwork, as are the dormers piercing the roof. Gothic details are continued on the flanking sides, and on the attached ell. The carriage barn at the rear of the property is a period structure.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Charles Capron House )〕
The house was built in 1874 by Charles Capron, a member of the locally prominent Capron family who was one of the owners of the Capron Mill (no longer standing), and was responsible for the introduction of electricity into Uxbridge. Capron was also active in civic affairs, serving as town treasurer, town clerk, selectman, and as a state representative. The house is Uxbridge's finest example of Gothic Revival architecture.〔
