The resource is surrounded by agricultural land to the north, south, and west, a windbreak to the north, and a forested area to the southwest.
#242145 includes a dwelling, Quonset hut, barn, garage, equipment shed, mobile home, shed, two silos, and a grain bin. According to Ashland County’s Assessor Data, the dwelling was built in 2010 (Assessor Data 2020). It replaced a historic dwelling that appears as early as 1938 on historic aerial imagery and 1942 on historic topographic maps (USDA 1938; USGS 1942). However, the historic structure was razed sometime between 2005 and 2010 (NETROnline 2020, GoogleEarth 2020). The modern dwelling has an asphalt shingle clad cross-gabled roof and what appears to be fiber cement lap siding. All of the outbuildings associated with #242145 are located to the rear of the dwelling. The northern cluster of outbuildings includes a Quonset hut, garage, equipment shed, and mobile home. To the east of the dwelling is a pre-1965 Quonset hut with a Quonset metal roof and metal siding. The Quonset hut has a garage door entrance on its north elevation and a lean-to shed addition on its east elevation. To the east of the Quonset hut is a circa 1990 garage with a front-gabled metal roof and metal siding. To the northeast of the garage is a circa 1980 equipment shed with a front-gabled metal roof and metal siding. It has a lean-to extension on its south elevation and sliding garage door entrances on the east and west elevations. To the north of the equipment shed is a circa 1980 mobile home with a side-gabled roof and vinyl siding that was placed on the property in 2015 (GoogleEarth 2020). The southern cluster of outbuildings includes a grain bin, two silos, a barn, and a shed. The grain bin is a circa 1980 structure with a metal conical roof and metal siding. Its port and entrance are located on the grain bin’s south elevation. The silos are located to the southeast of the grain bin and are circa 1980 structures with domed metal roofs and concrete stave construction. The barn is a circa 1970 ground barn (constructed between 1965 and 1983, based on a review of aerial imagery) with an interlocking shingle Gothic roof and vertical wood siding. It has fixed single-pane and sliding replacement windows and is entered through a large wooden door centered below the hay loft on its west elevation. A shed roof extension is located on its south elevation. The ground barn is used as a milking barn and has a rear, gabled milking parlor, and metal feed bins on the north elevation. To the south of the barn is a circa 1975 shed with a corrugated metal roof and metal siding. All outbuildings are in fair to good condition. |
