History and architectural features edit
Built in 1861, the farmhouse is a two-and-one-half-story, nine-bay by four-bay, brick dwelling with a gable roof that was designed in the Georgian style. It was expanded in the 1880s with a two-and-one-half-story, brick addition with a gable roof. Another two-and-one-half-story addition was built sometime around 1900.
A county home for the aged from the 1880s through 1964, when it closed, the building was renovated starting in 1969, in order to house the Greene County Historical Society Museum's collection and library.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
