History and architectural features

[edit]

The original section of this historic building dates to circa 1800, and is a two-story, one-bay, log structure. The interior has an eight-foot, stone fireplace and gooseneck spiral staircase. A two-story frame addition was built during the 1800s, with an addition built in the 1900s and the former patio enclosed in 1976. The additions were created in a saltbox form. The house was restored in the 1940s. Also located on the property is a contributing stone Pennsylvania bank barn.[2]
