Appraisal
This substantial farmhouse represents the adaptation of classical architecture to the vernacular tradition. The fenestration and round-headed fanlight, a particularly noteworthy feature in the otherwise plain façade, enliven the façade. The house and outbuildings form an interesting group of farm related structures.
