It was built by Thomas Watkins and John Tholman. The homestead was established around 1870, and its one-and-a-half-story clapboard-sided log house was built around then, though the granary might have been built first and occupied by the family until the log house was completed. There are also a log and stone barn (c. 1880s), a wood blacksmith shop (c. 1880s), and a stone chicken coop (c. 1880s). The property has a historic picket fence along its street edge.[2]
