Farm buildings consist of two barns [230060, 230061], a modern silo, grain bin [230062], and two other outbuildings [incl. 230063], all of which are grouped along the west side of the road. The Sugar River runs through the property at the rear of the building complex, and the house is surrounded by mature evergreen and deciduous trees and a grassy lawn. A landscaped garden is located north of the house. STH 69 runs north-south and bisects the farm parcel, and mature oak and maple trees line the opposite side of the highway for approximately 700 feet, separating the house and farm buildings from the associated agricultural lands east of the road. Many of these trees are over 4 feet in diameter and were planted by original homesteader Henry Boning. 7.
