Year Built: 1846

This 2-story home, built with small, red, lake-washed cobbles, has a fan in the front gable, and sandstone quoins. The lintels are oddly shaped - a square central portion flanked by lower rectangles. They may be wooden. These same lintels were used on other houses along Ridge Road.
