| Additional Information: | The newly-inventoried farmstead consists of a house [229622], a dairy barn [229623], tobacco barn [229624], a chicken coop [229625], a granary [229626], and a storage shed [229627]. The house (AHI #229622) is a one and one-half story Gabled Ell with an enclosed porch on the front (southeast) elevation and a small single-stmy addition on the rear (nmthwest) elevation. The main house features stucco wall cladding, while the porch and addition are clad in clapboard and vettical board siding, respectively. The southeast-facing gable includes two one-over-one windows on the first floor level with a continuous cornice with dentils. A pair of double hung windows lights the attic level under the gable. The main entrance is located in the enclosed porch. Five double hung windows light the porch. The side gabled pottion of the house is one bay wide, and the gable ends are lit with single two-over-two windows. A secondary entrance is located in the rear addition. The roof is clad in asphalt shingle and standing seam metal. The house likely dates to ca. 1890, and the barns and granary likely date to the turn of the century, ca. 1900. The chicken coop and storage shed appear to have been built at a later date, ca. 1930. |
