Description and history
It is a two-story brick I-house, oriented east-west. A porch across its front facade was reported in 1990 to be collapsed, while the northern porch retained original chamfered posts, despite having been screened. The property includes as outbuildings a small pumphouse and a barn, and includes the family cemetery of William T. Capps, who built this house around 1875. It is one of the best-preserved 19th-century I-houses in this part of the county.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1990.[1]
