18th century by Richard Woolfolk. From this family it
passed to the Anderson family, who sold it to Charles
Collins. It stayed in his possession until 1909, when

it.
The house is currently owned by the
Ames
family, who bought the 650 acre homestead in an auction
in 1985, and raise Angus cattle.
The house is of the one and one-half story frame type
with a slanting roof and dormer windows. It was later
remodeled into a 2 story building. The roof is of metal.
