Appraisal
This handsome Georgian house, with its symmetrical form and gable chimneystacks, is a larger, more elaborate version of the traditional farmhouse. It has features of the more formal house design, particularly the beautifully detailed doorcase. This house and nearby bridge are reputed to have been built by an architect named Long.
