History and architectural features

The original building was built circa 1706[3] (some sources say 1689[4]), with later expansions undertaken during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. It consists of a three-story, six-bay, gable-roofed, stuccoed, brownstone building that was erected circa 1800 with two-story porches and a low, gable-roofed wing that is likely the oldest portion of the structure. Attached to this is a low, one-story, kitchen wing and enclosed porch that dates to circa 1930.[3] The building was auctioned in 2010.[4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
