History and architectural features[edit]
The main farmhouse is a 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay by two-bay, Georgian-style dwelling built from fieldstone. The property includes a 2+1⁄2-story, log house that may have been built between 1742 and 1800, but possibly as early as 1709, along with a variety of outbuildings. Outbuildings include an implement shed and workshop, a pig barn, a combination spring house and smokehouse, a summer kitchen and bake oven, an ice house, and a combination butcher shop and blacksmith shop (1742). Six of the outbuildings have red clay tile roofs.[2]
