Broughton House: Architectural evidence, including bark-covered logs used for framing, indicates that the Greek Revival center portion of this house dates to the 1830s, when Benjamin and Charlotte Worthing owned the land. The north wing, with its sawed timbers, may have been moved from another site; its second floor is lower than the one in the center portion. The house bears the name of Daniel Broughton, who owned it from 1866 to1885 and added the south wing. His carriage shop was diagonally across the intersection.

Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
