Description and history

The house consists of a  1 1⁄2-story central section erected in 1732, with flanking wings. The east wing was built in 1765 as a  1 1⁄2-story structure and raised to a full two stories in 1785. The central section and east wing are of wood-frame construction, covered with cedar wood shingles, and rest on a fieldstone foundation. The 2-story stone west wing was built between 1853 and 1855.
