Description and history
It is a two-story, three-bay-wide, timber-framed, Greek Revival style residence built in about 1835. The recessed entrance features a carved architrave supported by Ionic columns.[2] As described in state records, "The west facades of the main block and wing are finished with flush weatherboards; each facade is divided and framed by elaborately fluted Ionic pilasters. The remainder is clapboarded. The entire structure is painted white. The main entrance is reached by a three-step stair of dressed stone. One brick chimney with rebuilt top is located in the main block."
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974.[1]
