This photo was taken in 1888 and shows the east side of the "Old Girl".  There were three "ells" or additions to the house when this photo was taken with three chimneys!


In 2010 there was one less ell on the north end of the house and the roof has been raised on both sides of the largest ell in a shed-dormer style.  Now there are two chimneys!


From the west side of the house the shed-dormer is not as noticeable as it is above the porch on the opposite side.  Here it gives the house a more colonial look.  Notice the shed-dormer that was added to the original cape side of the house!  

The "Old Girl" has multiple personalities!  From the east she looks like a farm house, from the south she looks like a cape house, and from the west she looks like a colonial.
