| Additional Information: | "The Forsythe House is a two and one half story frame residence on a raised foundation faced in limestone. The assymetrically massed, hip-roofed block with intersecting gables is finished with clapboarding articulated with elaborate stickwork, sawn and incised ornament and shingling on the front. The windows are large, one-over-one, double-hung sash. This structure appears to have been little altered from its orignal appearance." (A).
