"The Glass House (#20) was moved to the property by a subdivision developer in 1998 in two pieces, along with the Tank House. The Boone and Glass Houses were originally on neighboring farms, although subsequent property sales had produced intervening neighbors. The house was moved approximately 1650 feet south of its original location. It is composed of a two-story main body and an older one and one-half story rear wing. At the time of the move, the main house was separated from the rear wing and the tank house, which was attached to the house by a 1930s addition. The house and the Tank House were moved onto new concrete block foundations in the south pasture of Forest Home Farms, with the orientation of the buildings to the main road duplicated. The outbuildings of the original farm had lost historic integrity and were not moved with them. No other buildings are in the immediate vicinity of the site, thus preserving its farmhouse setting."
