Description
Rock Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse with later additions and alterations. Constructed of red brick, it features a steep-pitched hipped slate roof with stacks positioned in the roof slope to the left and right. The three-story facade has a painted dentilled eaves cornice. It has a three-window front, with late 20th-century casement windows, each with a painted stone wedge lintel. The ground-floor windows likely replaced earlier tripartite sash windows; the middle and upper right windows are blind and painted to resemble windows. A central entrance is marked by a plain pedimented doorcase, sheltering a six-panel door and a rectangular barred overlight.
