History and description
The property was once part of a large tract owned by John Cleves Symmes, a soldier and politician during the American Revolutionary War. Daniel Shoemaker purchased the property from Symmes daughter Mary and husband Peyton Short. The oldest part of the house is a one and one-half story stone wing built c. 1815. The two-story main part was built of coursed stone c. 1822. It was renovated during the 1940s and 1950s. The listing also includes the farm properties: gabled barn, tiled silo, workshop, ice house, and milk house.[3]
