History and architectural features

[edit]

This district encompasses two contributing buildings: the farmhouse and barn. The main section of the two-story, fieldstone farmhouse was built circa 1750. Additions or modifications were then made circa 1800, 1842, 1860, and 1940. The modifications that were done circa 1800 rebuilt the original cabin which dates to 1715. The two and three-story, frame-over-stone, bank barn was built circa 1750 and expanded circa 1860.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
