This was a very common style of farmhouse at one time, essentially a working man’s interpretation of the higher Victorian styles popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Most of the fancier details would have been part of the porch, which has been removed at some point in its history. This example was once the center of an historic working farm and I can imagine the comfort it brought to the family who lived here. An old barn near the house has recently collapsed but as you can tell, the place is still getting the love it needs to survive another hundred-plus years. A new roof means someone cares, and I’d bet it’s someone with connection to the history of the house.
