History and architectural features

The original section of this historic structure was built circa 1836, with the south and east wings added during the 1850s. A two-story brick coach house and servants' quarters were added to the property after 1891, and the original house was connected to the main dwelling with the expansion of the rear ell. The main dwelling was created in a transitional Greek Revival/Italian Villa "picturesque" style, and features round-headed and hooded windows, prominent brackets, balconies, porches, and window bays. It is faced with scored poured concrete and clapboard and topped with a gable roof.[1]
