NOTES
Additional Information:This property is an early twentieth-century farmstead that includes a house, two barns, and two outbuildings. The house, built in 1913, is a two-story, rectangular-plan, front-gable, vernacular house with a shed-roof porch spanning the east-facing main elevation, supported by square posts. An enclosed porch is attached at the rear. The foundation is of mortared fieldstone. The walls are clad in vinyl siding, and the moderately pitched gable roof has boxed eaves and is covered with asphalt shingles. Fenestration is regular and most window openings contain replacement, one-over-one, vinyl, double-hung sash.

A c.1913 gambrel-roofed, side-gable bank barn (AHI# 222430) is located to the south of the house, with a concrete silo adjacent to the drive ramp on the north elevation. The foundation is of fieldstone with dressed corner blocks, and the walls are clad in vertical wood siding. Window openings contain six-light, wooden, fixed sash on the main level and two-over-two, double-hung, wooden sash at the basement level. The attached shed-roof milk house is clad in clapboard. The complex also contains a c.1940 two-bay garage with a concrete foundation, walls clad in drop siding, and a metal roof. A second, smaller gambrel-roof barn (AHI# 222431) is located at the rear of the house. A small, gable-roof school bus shelter faces the main road on the south side of the driveway.
