History and architectural features edit
The contributing buildings are the house and banked barn (both c. 1830), a sheep barn (c. 1870), a hay shed and spring house (both c. 1880), and a privy (c. 1920). The house is a five-bay, center passage farmhouse with an attached rear kitchen; it was designed in a T-shaped floor plan. The Parkinson Farm is an example of an early nineteenth-century sheep farm, and it continued to operate as such until roughly 1960.[3]
