## History and architectural features

The original section of this historic house was built circa 1750, with a western addition built circa 1790 and rear additions completed between 1790 and 1820. It is a two-story, five-bay, L-shaped, fieldstone dwelling that was designed in the Georgian style. Also located on the property are a 2+1⁄2-story, stone grist mill (c. 1728), an early-nineteenth-century, 2+1⁄2-story, fieldstone, tenant house, a large, late-eighteenth-century stone-and-frame barn, a stone pig pen, and a two-story, stone horse barn. The grist mill was purportedly built by George Boone III, the grandfather of frontiersman Daniel Boone, who received the original land grant.
