History and architectural features
Contributing buildings include a $2 1/2$-story, four-bay brick main house, which was built circa 1810, a timber-frame bank barn that was erected circa 1815, a stone-and-log distillery that was built sometime around 1790, and a timber-frame chopping mill that was built sometime around 1805. The mill was horse-powered, and was used to chop grain for the distilling process.

These buildings are a rare surviving example of an important industry in the Somerset Township area and the very small-scale industrial/commercial enterprises of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The area had a high concentration of distillers, which were greatly affected by the whiskey excise tax and the Whiskey Rebellion.
