In 1840, artisans built this house in the Federal architecture style, which was popular in the United States from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century during the Federal period. This style combines classical and neoclassical architectural elements, emphasizing symmetry and balance in design. Its most recognizable features are a central front door with sidelights and a fanlight above. Evenly spaced rectangular windows with semicircular arches surround the door. Federal architecture also incorporates decorative elements, such as ornate moldings, dentils, and friezes. The house, constructed primarily of wood, boasts multiple brick chimneys. High ceilings, grand staircases, and formal rooms are adorned with decorative moldings and millwork. As you explore this house, you'll experience the elegance, simplicity, and distinct sense of balance and harmony that characterize Federal architecture.

My family of multiple generations spent the weekend here while participating in my high school reunion. The house was a great space and my kids especially enjoyed the toy room and outdoor swing set. Thanks for having us!

We had 9 people across 4 households stay here for a wedding. The house easily accommodated us all with bedrooms and bathrooms. Lots of sitting areas for conversations and a large dining room table and kitchen for meals. The screened porch was very popular! The house has a very historic feel, and has lots of nice touches. The owners were very prompt with communication and checking in was easy. The checkout rules were reasonable and on par with other places we have stayed.
