Description and history

It is a complex of attached buildings typical of 19th century New England farms. At one end is the main house, a ​2 1⁄2 five bay wood frame structure, was probably built sometime before 1812 for Isaac and Mary Gardner Reed. The house exhibits a variety of architectural styles, having elements of Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival elements that were applied by successive generations in the 19th century. A ​1 1⁄2 ell extends north from the main block, joining the house to a shed and early 19th-century barn, which have been adaptively rehabilitated into office space.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
