This home, known locally as the Wheel House, has a wealth of history including having been part of the underground railway. It also displays the old craftsman detailing. Among its features are five working fireplaces, including a large cooking fireplace in the older part of the home. The rooms are nicely proportioned with abundant sunlight. Stately mature locusts and black walnuts shade the home, keeping it cool in the summer. The ''newer'' part of the home dates from 1787; the older part at the rear dates from the 1770s. The attractive 2-story barn next to the house has 2 garage spaces, a workshop, and a horseshoe drive. There is also a 600 sq. ft. cottage. The property comprises 45 acres in 2 lots.
