side is a mid-20th-century concrete-block<br />

framed dairy barn. This section has a concrete<br />

floor with gutters, remnants of stanchions, and<br />

a dairy room. The last addition is a two-bay<br />

structure coming off the south gable end of the<br />

hay barn. One bay is for storage and the other<br />

appears to have been a common room for<br />

laborers with lockers and a table and chairs. To<br />

the east of this complex are a free-standing<br />

horse shed and a corn crib.<br />

The house and barns are located at the southeast<br />

corner of an 86-acre parcel of land, nearly half of which<br />

is under cultivation. The property is bordered to the<br />

north, east, and west primarily by open agricultural land.<br />

The southern boundary of the property is <strong>Pitcher</strong> Lane.<br />

Carved out of the southern edge of the property to the<br />

west of the WIlliam <strong>Pitcher</strong> farmhouse is a three-acre<br />

parcel of land with a large Italianate Victorian house on<br />

it that dates to 1875. This lot was part of the <strong>Pitcher</strong><br />

family property until the mid-20th century.<br />
