The property, now about 23 acres (9.3 ha), was farmed by members of the Fuqua family from the 18th to the 21st century, and includes a vernacular 18th-century farmhouse. The farmhouse now includes elements of two structures that were joined together about 1905; in addition to the farmhouse there are also early 20th-century outbuildings, including a chicken house, garage, and shed.[2]
