 The oldest portion of the house, its east side and center chimney, were probably built c. 1709 by Ebenezer Frie.The west side of the house is a second structure that was attached to the first in the 1760s, with some documentary and physical evidence that this was due to a fire destroying the original west side.A leanto section was added to the rear of the house in the 20th century, as was a wing on the northwest corner, connecting the house to its barn.
