The property includes a Greek Revival farmhouse, a barn and stable, and a cemetery in which many Fosters are interred. The main house consists of two blocks, built by Joel Foster, the first Foster to settle the land. Architectural evidence suggests that both were built in the 1850s, leaving open the question of where Foster's first house was located. Across the street from the house stand the barn and stable, both built in the 1890s. Both are single-story wood frame structures with the gable end toward the street. Source: ( visit link)
