Description and history

It was built in about 1859, and is a small, two-story frame residence, three bays wide, with later rear wings and alterations dating to about 1920. It features a hipped roof with a monitor-like cap at the apex. Also on the property are a garage and shed. [2]

Monitor (architecture) in architecture, raised structure running along the ridge of a double-pitched roof

A monitor in architecture is a raised structure running along the ridge of a double-pitched roof, with its own roof running parallel with the main roof. The long sides of monitors usually contain clerestory windows or louvers to light or ventilate the area under the roof. A monitor roof looks like the roof of a traditional sugar house but the purpose of the sugar house roof is to vent steam. Also, some railroad passenger cars historically had monitor roofs.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1987. [1]
