Description

The Buck Farm House is a two-story vernacular Gothic Revival frame structure built in a T-shaped plan. It has an open front porch with turned columns and elaborate bargeboards. The gable ends have similarly decorative bargeboards, along with vertical siding contrasting with the horizontal clapboard covering the remaining wall surfaces. A corner stone bears the inscription, 'J. S. Buck 1888'.[2]
