History and description edit
The oldest section of the house was built by Effingham Low sometime before 1775. The one and one-half stone house features local Dutch Colonial architecture. His son, Nicholas Low inherited the property in 1812. The two-story Federal style stone addition was built by him around 1820.[3]
