History and architectural features

[edit]

Built in three sections between 1725 and roughly 1850, this historic structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]

The oldest part is a 2+12-story, stone dwelling, with a two-bay Germanic style front facade. A 2+12-story, Georgian-style, five-bay-wide, stone section was added circa 1800. The third section was built in the mid-nineteenth century, and is a 2+12-story, frame structure.[2]

Also located on the property is a contributing Swiss bank barn.[2]
