History and architectural features

[edit]

The complex consists of a three-story mill that built roughly between 1792 and 1793, a two-and-one-half-story, five-bay, Federal-style, stone dwelling that was built in 1794, a mid-nineteenth century, stone and frame, Pennsylvania bank barn, two one-and-one-half-story stone summer kitchens, and a late eighteenth-century stone walled garden. The mill measures forty-five feet by thirty-six feet. The house has a Georgian floor plan and measures forty-five feet by forty-five feet.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
