Description and history

It is a 1+1⁄2-story vernacular wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, end chimneys, and clapboard siding. Its front facade has a centered entrance, which is topped by a transom window and framed by Greek Revival pilasters and entablature. The bays flanking the entrance are symmetrically placed pairs of small sash windows. [2]

This colonial farm house was built in 1750 and remains a well preserved 18th century dwelling and conserves a portion of the original rural landscape. [3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 1984. [1]
