History and architectural features
editBuilt circa 1910, this historic structure is a large 2+1⁄2-story, fieldstone dwelling with a gambrel roof with large dormers. It has a two-story, stone rear wing with a steep gable roof. The intersection of the main house and wing features a round, two-story tower, giving the house a French Provincial style. The house is set within a farm complex with two large frame barns, a smaller frame house, and associated outbuildings. It was the home of noted artist Marie Zimmermann (1879–1972).[2]
