I meet the owner of this house, mainly because he was wondering why I was taking pictures of his house. We talked for around 30 minutes covering many topics, but a lot had to do with the challenges of owning a home of this nature. From the outside, it is in remarkable condition considering it was built around 1750. He did confirm this was Deacon Johnson house, even thou historically it is known as the Hayward House.
