Description:
This two-story home was built of fieldstone and covered in stucco.  It originally had a large stone barn which was an estimated 40 ft long x 24 ft wide and 30ft tall. One corner of the barn is still standing as well as the silo.  This farm has been purchased by a local family that is currently restoring it. The south wing has collapsed and many original features are gone on the interior. The columns and dentil moldings on the porch are intact. The owner says the quoins on the barn were quarried at a quarry further down Eddy Ridge Rd.
