What the Dingledey House Looked Like
The Dingledey House was a unique farmhouse. It had a special design called 'upright and wing.' Imagine a main part (the upright) with a smaller section (the wing) attached. This house was even more special because it had two upright sections!
Architectural Style and Materials
The house was built in 1881. It showed details from two old styles: Italianate and Greek Revival. The house was made of wood. It had a type of siding called clapboard. Its base was made from rough, natural stones.
Special Features of the House
The house had a porch that was set back into the building. This porch was on the middle part of the house. It had columns and decorative brackets under the roof's edge. These details made the house look very elegant.
