NOTES
Additional Information:2012- "This farmsted consistes of 4 buildings: a house (75963), a barn (75964), a granary (75969), and a dairy barn (75966).

A small, side-gabled log house (AHI #75963) is located at the southwest corner of the property. A vertical-plank door is
located in the west (front) elevation, with two six-light windows next to it. The roof is composite three-tab shingles, and
the gables are clad in composite shingles. The log house was constructed around 1875.

The dairy barn (AHI #75966), constructed around 1930, is located at the rear of the property. The barn is side-gabled,
with the ridge running parallel to the road. Two shed-roofed additions project from the west and south sides. The barn is
clad in vertical boards, clapboards, and modern vertical metal cladding. Several six-light windows are located throughout
the building. The barn has a new roof.

Another barn (AHI #75964), also constructed around 1930, is located on the property. This barn consists of three
portions. The west section is clad in drop siding, has several six-light windows, arranged singly and in pairs, and has an
overhead garage door in its south wall. The middle section of the barn is clad in shingles and has three doors and four
sets of windows, including a single six-light window, ganged six-light windows, a single four-light window, and triple sixover-
six double hungs. The east section of the barn is clad in artificial stone and has an overhead garage door, flanked
by two six-light windows, along with a smaller door. This east section also has a shed-roofed wall dormer with four
windows. The entire barn has a composite three-tab shingle roof.

A two-story granary (AHI #75965) is also located on the property. The building is side-gabled, is clad in modern vertical
metal siding, and has a modern roof. Several modern aluminum windows are located in the gable ends of the building.

The property also contains three modern pole buildings, a modern garage, and a cross-gabled farmhouse with vinyl
siding, vinyl windows, a new roof, and a modern addition nearly double the size of the original house."
