History and architectural features[edit]

The historic house was developed in three stages: a 1+12-story, Germanic-influenced, limestone, banked house that was built between 1798 and 1801, a second story added circa 1835, and a two-story, three-bay, stone addition that was built circa 1850. The house measures sixty-two feet by thirty feet.

Also located on the property is a small stone and frame springhouse, a small stone smoke house, and a small frame and stone bank barn, all dating to the mid-nineteenth century.[2]
