2020: This farmstead consists of a two-story gabled ell farmhouse, barn, machine shed, and garage. The brick Greek Revival farmhouse (AHI No. 4487) was built c.1860 and is comprised of a two-story upright section and a one-story wing. It has a stone foundation and front-gable roof covered in asphalt shingles with gable returns and a wide cornice board; an exterior brick chimney is located on the side (west) elevation of the house. Windows include replacement, vinyl, one-over-one, double-hung sash; wood, one-over-one, double-hung sash; and vinyl, three-over-three, hung sash. All have painted brick lintels and shutters. A shed roof supported by square columns shelters the modern door on the front (south) facade of the upright two-story portion of the house; infilled brick and the remaining concrete lintel east of the existing entrance indicate that the original front door and porch were moved and replaced. A second modern entry door is located under a replacement shed roof porch on the one-story wing. A large two-story addition with vinyl siding and vinyl windows is located on the rear (north) elevation of the house. A smaller one-story addition with vinyl siding extends from the north elevation of the two-story addition, and a one-story enclosed porch with vinyl siding and a modern door and windows is located on the side (east) elevation of the two-story addition.
