| Additional Information: | 01/2021: The property includes a ca. 1900 side-gabled dwelling (a), a contemporaneous ca. 1900 barn (b), and a ca. 1920 gabled outbuilding (c) associated with a non-historic-age garage. The heavily altered dwelling (a) has experienced additions and alterations that dramatically altered its original footprint and massing and obscure its original fenestration pattern and architectural detailing, if present historically. The dwelling (a) features an asphalt shingle roof with a central brick chimney, replacement vinyl siding, 1/1 replacement vinyl windows, and an uncovered wooden deck along primary façade. The dwelling has large lateral and rear additions that are apparent on aerial imagery after 1995.
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). |
