This house and yard outbuildings complex retains much of its vernacular form and character as identified by its long, low form and irregular fenestration rhythm. The simple house design is embellished by the simple render details. The site is notable for the retention of its courtyard and outbuildings, which provide insight into the farming methods of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
