History and architectural features

The original house was built circa 1712, with substantial additions made circa 1760 and 1806. The original house was likely a one-story, stone structure. The 1760 section is a two-story, three-bay fieldstone structure. The 1806 addition completely enveloped the 1712 house. It is a 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay fieldstone structure that incorporates the house's distinctive three arches.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
