Orford's seven Ridge houses were built over a period of time from 1773 to 1839 by professional and business men of the town. The Bulfinch style house of John B. Wheeler, built 1814-1816, southernmost in the row, was designed by a Boston architect, probably Asher Benjamin who was then a associate of Charles Bulfinch. Other Ridge houses also display Asher Benjamin influence.
