| Additional Information: | This farmstead consists of five historic buildings: a Gabled Ell house [225091], a dairy barn [225087], a chicken coop [225089], a corn crib [225088], and a machine shed [225090]. The machine shed was constructed c.1910 and may have been relocated on the same site c.1940. It is rectangular in plan with a stone and concrete foundation, vertical board walls, and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. A sliding barn door is located near the center of the west elevation. Two small single-pane windows are located at the south end of the east elevation. The farmstead appears to be in good condition and retains a moderate degree of integrity. The farmhouse is a vernacular building with diminished integrity due to vinyl siding and new windows and is not considered individually eligible. As an early twentieth century farmstead property type, the farmstead contains an animal barn, chicken coop, corn crib, and machine shed; however, historic aerial photos also show that these are only a fraction of the historic collection of outbuildings. At least four secondary outbuildings and one silo are no longer extant. As a result, the farmstead is not considered to contain an intact collection of historic agricultural outbuildings. |
