Appraisal
This house is typical of modest traditional farmhouse design, exhibited through features such as the chimneystacks placed on the gable ends and the square-headed door opening. The stone outbuildings ranged around the yard served different agricultural purposes, and in conjunction with the house, represented a reasonably prosperous farm.
