The farmhouse was built about 1700 by James Morse (born 1686), and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It consists of a 2+1⁄2-story main house in 4 bays, with single story rear wing. Surface treatments are late Georgian in style, probably added by Dr. Jonathan Tay in the 1770s or 1780s, and include a semicircular fanlight and narrow Doric pilasters framing the front door.[2]
