Description and history

[edit]

It was built in about 1855, and is a two-story, "T"-plan, Greek Revival-style frame dwelling. It has a gable roof, sits on a brick foundation, and is sheathed in weatherboard. Also on the 323 acre property are the contributing double pen log barn, log smokehouse, well shed, two granaries, and plantation office.
