Historic House Tour Part 2.
The original section of this home was built in 1750
with a later addition in the 1890's and 1960's.
Steps to terrace.
One of the sitting areas on the terrace.
Steps to the pool.
This 230 year old farmhouse and barn was once a summer camp.
Sorry I took such a far away picture of the house.
The view from the upper area of the barn was spectacular!
The upper area of the barn was a game and movie room for their children.
Below were the horses.
This grand Victorian home and barn were once part of 144 acre farm.
The original stone home on the property was built in 1764 and the largest part
was built in 1839 by the homeowners ancestors.
The farm was sold out of the family's hands in 1926,
but found and purchased by current homeowner in 1989,
making him the fifth generation owner.
One last group of photos to come!
Wonderful Louise! So much history...have a great day! ~ronda
