| Additional Information: | The main house on this farmstead is a vernacular one-and-one-half story brick structure with an L-plan resting on a raised stone foundation. The intersecting gable roof is covered in standing seam metal and there is a central brick chimney. A small concrete stoop leads to the main entry on the facade. The windows are one-over-one double-hung sash; however, many are downsized replacements. Some of the windows feature segmental arch lintels and those on the front have alternatively colored brick. Initials and the date of construction are displayed in the front gable end – JVD 1898. A shed roof dormer has been added above the front entrance, the original porch and decorative entry detail have been removed, and a large steel door has been added at the exposed basement level on the side elevation. In addition foliage obscures much of the building. A c.1930 corn bin is situated to the northwest of the barn. It is a wire structure with a conical metal roof and currently used for storage. Adjacent to the corn bin is a c.1910 frame shed that may have housed small animals. It has a rectangular plan, is sheathed in wood clapboard siding and covered by a metal, side gable roof. The foundation is not visible, and the sole visible window appears to be a four-light fixed sash. A modern pole building at the north end of the barnyard completes the complex. |
