Over many years, repairs, replacements, and additions, made for the <br /> wellbeing and comfort of various owners, were a necessary part of the evolution of the house. <br /> The majority of these alterations have treated nineteenth-century components sensitively and <br /> left the original fabric of the Federal block and Greek Revival wing largely intact. <br /> Other features of the Jacob Jackson Farm include: <br /> 2. BARN, ca. 1855 to 1910, contributing: <br /> A barn, likely dating from ca. 1855 to 1910, is located in an open pasture approximately <br /> sixty yards southeast of Maple Hill. Two V-notched hewn log pens are divided by a central <br /> passage and form a rectangular central core to which late-nineteenth and early-twentieth- <br /> century frame sheds have been added on all sides. The barn is loosely partitioned into two lofts <br /> above the ground level. Its broad gable roof and those of the shed additions are covered by <br /> standing-seam metal. Although portions of the sheathing and roofing are deteriorated, the <br /> structure is basically sound. Many nineteenth-century features, including early plank decking <br /> and box feeders, remain. <br /> 3. CHICKEN HOUSE, ca. 1930, non-contributing: <br /> The frame chicken house is a small, rectangular, weatherboarded shed, originally <br /> located west of Maple Hill, that serves as a goat and dog house. It was partially covered with <br /> German siding and moved to its present site, northeast of Maple Hill, after 1946. <br /> 4. EQUIPMENT SHED/GRANARY ca. 1946, non-contributing: <br /> A frame, gable-roofed equipment shed/granary of three bays was built to house <br /> equipment and feed after 1946. Open bays on either end permit the storage of farm machinery <br /> while an enclosed room in the center bay contains covered bins. <br /> 5. LANDSCAPE, contributing, (A site plan of the Jacob Jackson Farm is attached as Exhibit B): <br /> The Jacob Jackson Farm is located on a 63.15 acre combination of forest and open land <br /> that slopes upward from its southern boundary on St. Mary's Road to a crest on which the <br />
