History

Caleb Everts moved from New York state to Michigan in 1840, and purchased this farm. He constructed a log cabin at this site, and then in 1842 added a frame wing onto the house. Everts prospered as a farmer, and in 1856 had this house constructed. By the 1870s, he owned over 1000 surrounding acres. The property on which this house stands passed to his son, also named Caleb Everts; the younger Caleb died in 1919. The house remained in the Everts family until 1941, when it was sold. [2]

Description

The Caleb Everts House is located in a farmstead consisting of the house with a carriage shed, two barns, a granary, chicken coop, and various other outbuildings. The house is a large Greek Revival structure, covered in clapboard, with several wings. The exterior is plain, with pilaster strips on the two-story, end-gabled main block. A porch across the front is supported by square posts, as is a side porch. The original windows are six-over-six, symmetrically arranged The windows on the front porch have paneled window aprons below. A carriage shed adjoining the kitchen appears to be part of the original construction. [2]
