History architectural features
The original section of this historic structure dates to circa 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay by one-bay, fieldstone structure. It has a gable roof, a small shed-roofed porch, and a terrace. A 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay, random fieldstone addition was designed by R. Brognard Okie and built in 1929.
Also located on the property is a contributing bank barn that dates to 1873. The house was purchased by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts in 1927; he died here in 1955.[2]
