Description and history

It is a vernacular Greek Revival style frame house built in about 1850. It consists of a two-story, three-bay wide, gable roofed main section with a one-story, two bay side ell. The siding of the house is clapboard. Also on the property is a large gambrel roofed dairy barn.[2]

Additions of a 20th-century front and rear porches have been made as well as a modern chimney. Foundation has been rebuilt.

The house was owned in 1855 by J. Ball, son of Isaac Ball, who is believed to have settled at this site in 1808. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1984.[1]
