DescriptionA center-chimney frame house sits on a small rise surrounded by a grassy lawn and small trees. A porch at the left appears to be a later addition. Outbuildings at the left, connected by a stone wall, include barn and sheds. A picket fence is in the foreground, beside a dirt road with what appears to be a stone culvert in the center.
