History and architectural features
This historic structure consists of five sections that were built roughly between 1735 and 1960. The oldest section was built circa 1735, and is a 1+1⁄2-story, stuccoed, stone, saltbox-form dwelling. A 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay, stone, main section was added as a wing in 1810. Later additions are the two-story kitchen wing, which dates to the late-nineteenth century, a two-story bedroom wing from the mid-twentieth century, and a one-story, shed-roofed, frame addition from 1960. The oldest section may have served as a stagecoach stop and post office in the mid-eighteenth century.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
