| Additional Information: | This one-and-a-half story, Minimal Traditional-style house was constructed c.1945. It is of frame construction with stone veneer and gable ends sheathed in wood shake siding, on a stone foundation with a rectangular plan. The side-gable roof is covered with asphalt shingles and features a shed dormer addition on the rear (north) elevation. Windows are replacement, one-over-one, double-hung sash. A projecting entry vestibule extends from the front (south) facade. A small limestone stoop leads to a replacement wood door. Southeast of the main house is a large gambrel barn constructed c.1915. It is of poured concrete and frame construction, sheathed in vertical wood cladding, with a concrete foundation on a rectangular plan. The gambrel roof is covered in metal and features four shed dormers and two metal cupola ventilators, each topped with a decorative rooster weathervane. The northern portion of the barn houses a large, poured concrete silo. Windows are regularly placed, fixed, multi-paned with wood trim. The west elevation features two second-story, sliding barn doors and a wood entryway door. A smaller, c.1920 gambrel barn is set further east of the main house and is connected to the large barn via a series of one-story additions constructed c.2020. It is of frame construction and sheathed in vertical wood cladding, with a concrete foundation on a rectangular plan. The gambrel roof is covered in metal and features a series of gable dormers. Windows are fixed multi-pane with wood trim. The west elevation features several wood doors and two overhead doors. The farmstead also includes a frame shed with a metal gambrel roof east of the main house. The farmstead was likely one of many family-owned dairies established in the region in the 1910s, meaning the current post-World War II house is the second-generation house on the property. |
