Description and history
editThe 1+1⁄2-story, gambrel-roofed, wood-framed house was built in about 1790, and is located on what was once a major route from the Gardner's Neck area to Rehoboth. It is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century farmhouse. The main facade is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance flanked by sidelights and pilasters, and topped by an entablature. The property includes an early two-car garage (c. 1920s), an 1890 barn, and a stone wellhouse (c. 1920).[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1990.[1]
