United S ate " De artment of the Interior P National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 _ Page 2 Naile Johnson Wing . Early 19th c . house , moved and reconstructed as wing ca . 1938 The southwest wing , actually a separate house added to the southwest corner of the main block , is known as the Naile Johnson House . It is a Federal period two - story frame house from the St . Mary ' s Road area of Hillsborough , some five miles from this site . The house was dismantled and reconstructed in its present location by the Altvaters during their restoration of the main house . Wallboards and paneling from several other old houses were used to reconstruct the interior of this Naile Johnson wing . Since this house is actually connected to the main house , it constitutes a wing • rather than a separate , noncontributing building . As is obvious from the photograph showing the rear of the Faucett House , the Naile Johnson Wing has some modern exterior elements , including the small pane picture window on the second story and a full width screen porch . The architectural integrity of this house has been lost because of its move , because of the reuse of old materials from other houses , and because of the addition of a modern picture window . Although noncontributing , this wing retains an adequately separate identity so that it does not destroy the integrity of the Faucett House itself . 3 . Mill Cottage . Nineteenth century . Contributing Building The humble , one story frame cottage has a low gable roof , an exterior end single shoulder fieldstone chimney , and rests on a fieldstone foundation with a partial basement . The three bay wide facade has a center door flanked by 6 / 6 sash windows . The plain boxed eaves have eave returns on the gable ends . A hip roof front porch has one • bay enclosed as a room . A small kitchen wing was added to the rear in the 1930s , and the entrance stoop to this wing now serves as the main entrance . The interior has recent wood paneling and a Federal style mantel . It is not known if• this is an original Federal mantel or a reproduction , nor if this is its original location . According to local tradition , the cottage is quite old ,- but its present appearance is late nineteenth century . The Altvaters did some rehabilitation in the late 1930s , including reconstruction of the fieldstone chimney . 4 . Barn . Early 20th century . Contributing Building A one - story frame horse barn is located east of the Faucett House near the road ( SR 1328 ) . Some of the framing members are handhewn beams . A 1938 letter from F . V . Altvater mentions that , according to local hearsay , some of these timbers were reused from an early three - story barn across the road from the house .
