Description and history

Duncan acquired this land from Canada Fink in 1866, and the house was built sometime after that. It is an early example of a vernacular limestone farmhouse. The house is a single-story, one-room structure with a raised basement. The exterior is composed of large rubble stone laid in an uncoursed broken bond that gives it a wave-like appearance.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1987.[1]

gollark: You can also get that from some dubiously valid manipulation of the infinite sum directly right?
gollark: You can call it that. I just enjoy quoting things.
gollark: Have you tried doing a 'masters" in something else which you do like?
