History

In the 1840s, Jacob Anthony (1794–1863) owned the farm and likely built the stone farmhouse with Greek Revival style. It remained in the Anthony family until 1934 when it was sold to Grace Louise Corwin. The farmhouse was then remodeled c. 1935 with Colonial Revival style.[3]

Description

The main block of the farmhouse is a two-story stone building with a gable roof. On the east is a one-story frame kitchen wing added c. 1935. The property has four contributing buildings, including the main house, a barn and wagon house.[3]
