houses in the state. This original block is three bays wide and two stories high, with a massive fieldstone chimney at its north end. Its exterior ornamentation is minimal, limited to pilasters on either side of the main entrance, and a triangular pediment above. A small kitchen ell was added to the north side (next to the chimney, which remains exposed), probably early in the 19th century, and a bedroom further extended this ell in the 1940s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
