History and description

George Hunt (1799–1861) was a farmer, the third generation of the Hunt family to live and farm here. The two and one-half story limestone house was possibly built by Samuel Loveral. It has a typical I-house style. John Hunt (1830–1905) inherited the property and rebuilt the kitchen.[3]
