Facts and practical information

The J. J. Oakes House is a historic house at 14 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It is one of a few surviving Second Empire houses in Southbridge. The two story wood-frame house was built sometime before 1870 for James Jacob Oakes, who grew up nearby, and owned a dry goods and clothing store in town. The house was later acquired by J. J. Delahanty, who owned a furniture store in the Alden-Delahanty Block in Globe Village. Although it is predominantly Second Empire in its styling, it also has significant Italianate detailing, including the three bay facade and bracketed eaves. ()
