History and architectural features
editThis historic structure consists of three sections: an L-shaped stone house that was built c. 1785, and a two-story, five-bay rectangular, limestone house that was designed in the Georgian style. The first section was built using eighteenth-century stone construction methods; the latter section was built in 1834. The third area, which was also created in 1834, was added to "tie the two sections together."[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
