| Additional Information: | 2016- The Henry C. Stanley House (AHI No. 233372) was constructed c.1905. It is two-and-one-half stories, of frame construction, sheathed in bands of clapboard and wood shingle siding, and rests on a concrete block foundation. The roof is irregular in form with a hip roof cap, cross gables, and a large, integral square turret with flared eaves and scalloped brackets; it is covered in asphalt shingles and displays decorative vergeboards. Additionally, the side (north) elevation features a flared roofline. Windows are replacement, one-over-one, double-hung sash with a large fixed light north of the recessed main entrance on the front (east) facade and a one-story projecting bay on the side (south) elevation. Other decorative elements include sunburst motifs and stickwork in the gable ends; along with the steep pitch of the roof, wide eaves, and elaborate woodwork these are features of the Stick Style. A one-story wing extends from the west (rear) elevation of the house; it displays a shed-roof porch with turned supports on its south elevation. The farmstead has three outbuildings. A c.1910 front gable barn (AHI No. 233373) is of frame construction with a metal roof and is located west of the main house. A c.1960 grain bin and c.1960 metal pole building serving as an equipment shed stand north of the barn. The Stanley family were among the earliest settlers to the Wyocena area, arriving from Vermont in 1855. At that time patriarch Thomas Stanley purchased land in the Town of Wyocena. His son Henry, a Civil War veteran, school teacher, and farmer, also became a landholder, owning more than 100 acres in Columbia County, including this property, and an additional 440 acres in Michigan by 1914. Henry married Ada A.E. Twitchell of the Twitchell family, one of the most prominent founding families of Columbia County, and served as chairman and treasurer of the Town of Wyocena. |
