History and architectural features
Built in 1824, it was rebuilt into its present configuration in 1852. It is a two- to three-story, stuccoed stone and frame country dwelling, which was designed in the Greek Revival style.[2]
The five-bay symmetrical front facade features a pedimented portico with Tuscan order columns. The house also has open porches, which previously featured decorative wrought iron railings, balustrades, and cornices.[2]
