Property Features
The ca. 1900 barn (b) has a metal gambrel roof with hay hood, a mix of horizontal and vertical wood siding, a stone foundation with small, fixed windows, and a single door. At least one wooden bay door was visible on the eastern elevation. The circa 1920 outbuilding (c) has a front-gabled asphalt shingle roof, vertical wood siding, a single door and hayloft opening on the western façade, and two shed additions with metal cladding on both side elevations.
According to the 1914 Grant County Plat map, Mike (Michael) Finnegan owned the property (Kenyon Company 1914). George R. Burton owned the property by 1918 (Geo. A. Ogle & Company 1918). The dwelling is depicted on the 1900, 1904, and 1908 Lancaster quadrangle and 1918 Plats (USGS 1900, 1904, 1908; Wilson Gray 1868). Resources (a-c) are visible on 1955 aerial imagery along with a no-longer-extant small agricultural outbuilding (NETR 2020). The resources (a-c) also appear on the 1962 Lancaster quadrangle map (USGS 1962).
