The district covers 60 acres (24 ha) of farm and woodlands, whose principal architectural feature is a late-19th century farmstead, including a house, smokehouse, potato house, chicken house, and barn. It also includes the ruins of a mill complex built in the early 20th century. Its features include the remains of two dams (one wooden and the other masonry), a 150-foot (46 m) millrace, and the stone wall remnants of a grist mill.[2]
