Description and history
editThe 5.6-acre (2.3 ha) property includes a house whose oldest portion predates 1754, a mid-19th century Italianate barn, and rare surviving remnants of a slaughterhouse that was operated by N. B. Eames in the second half of the 19th century. The house is a typical Georgian 2+1⁄2-story timber-frame house, with five bays and a large central chimney. The barn complex includes as its main section a c. 1845-85 two-story structure with Italianate details (including a period cupola), and a lower single-story structure that housed the slaughtering operation. The house is named for its first two owners.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 2004.[1]
