History and architectural features
The house was built in the 1840s or 1850s, and is a two-story, four-bay, "T"-shaped, brick dwelling. It has a two-story, three-bay, brick-cased, log wing and a one-story, shed-roofed porch that wraps around three sides of the building.
Also located on the property are a contributing brick beehive oven, a brick end bank barn that was built in 1849 and rebuilt in 1876 after a fire, a frame wagon shed, and a metal "Stover Wind Engine".
The farm was purchased by the Greencastle-Antrim School District in 1966. The property includes the spring named Tayamentasachta, a favorite camp site for the Delaware Indians.[2]
