The Weeks House and farm complex are notable for containing the only known surviving log dwelling in the county and a reasonably intact early 19th century woodworking shop. Enlargements of the house in two stages and a cohesive cluster of outbuildings add to the interest of this farm.
The appearance of the house today is L-shaped with an attached rear ell; a kitchen/dining room is also located in the rear, connected by a breezeway. The front ell, on the right, dates from Victorian times; the gabled section on the left dates from about the time of the Civil War. Behind that section is the log room that Silas Weeks (1796-1860) built in the 1840s, according to family tradition. It has beaded weatherboard and batten doors with the exposed logs and horizontal battens forming the interior walls.

"Other frame outbuildings, dating from the early to mid-20th century include a smoke house, corn barn, mule barn, privy, and small dairy."
ReplyDeleteNo photo of the privy. That's an important part. How far is it located from the house? Is it a one holer or two? Is there a working well on the property? That's important too. Hauling water from a creek is a lot of work, especially on warsh day.
Go to the bottom of the link and see more pictures
DeleteI did look at those pictures but there wasn't one of the privy, unless it's inside one of those barns. I didn't see a well house either, but a lot of old houses were built on top of their wells. That made sense if it could be done because you wouldn't have to go outside in inclement weather to draw a bucket of water. One of my aunt's, she's long deceased, owned a house with the well on the back porch.
ReplyDeleteI thought I saw a one holer but must have been another house.

Hadn't heard of that but a good deal.
I could send you the 30K and buy it for me as my agent? I tip generously...
ReplyDelete:) Really. You could contact them and get more information.
