History and architectural features
The original house was built between 1773 and 1777, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, three-bay by two-bay, stone dwelling with a gable roof. It has two interior gable end chimneys and a front porch that added during the early twentieth century. The house was expanded in 1940, with a two-bay extension added to the house, making it five bays wide. At the same time, a smaller two-story, stone and frame addition was built onto the east gable end. Also located on the property is a large stone and frame bank barn that was built in 1834.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
