Also on the property are the contributing late-19th century kitchen, an early-to-mid-19th century servant's quarter, an early-to-mid-19th century smokehouse, a mid-19th century shed, an early-20th century chicken house, the site of a 19th-century ice pit, a 19th and early 20th century tenant house / tobacco processing barn, three late 19th or early-20th century log tobacco barns, a 19th-century log tenant house, and the Carrington / Johnson family cemetery.[2]
