History and architectural features
This historic house consists of three sections; the oldest was built circa 1792. It is a 2+1⁄2-story, stone dwelling which measures forty feet wide by twenty-eight feet deep. It was designed in the Georgian style.
The oldest section is a two-story, two-bay, stone structure that is two rooms deep. Sometime around 1855, a two-story, three-bay extension was added to the east gable. A kitchen and bath addition was built circa 1930. The house was remodeled in the Colonial Revival style roughly between 1945 and 1955, at which time a one-story addition and deck were added to the rear of the house. Also located on the property are a contributing stone bank barn (c. 1810) and stone spring house (c. 1855).[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
