The new owners of this long neglected c.1780 vernacular late Georgian/early Federal era frame farmhouse hired R. J. Doerr to completely restore the interior and exterior and enlarge the existing house. The restoration was as extensive. The home's exterior was stripped, revealing a highly deteriorated mud and log nogged timber frame. Several contemporary and deteriorated Victorian era architectural elements were removed during the restoration to return the house to an appearance in keeping with its original construction. The house's earliest intact architectural features were retained and restored, while numerous missing details were faithfully replicated. New front and rear porches were added to the home to assume the place of long removed originals and the large central and end chimneys that define the house's roofline were completely reconstructed as part of the project.
