Notes
  • Significance: The William House Farm is significant as a contributing resource in the Breakneck Road Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The complex is typical of the mixed farming carried on in the mountainous terrain of eastern Allegany County from the settlement period in the late eighteenth century well into the twentieth century. It comprises a dwelling consisting of a ca. 1837 one-and-one-half-story, hall-parlor house of V-notched log construction, enlarged in the late 19th century by a two-story frame addition; a timber-frame bank barn; a wash house of vertical-plank construction; several frame outbuildings, including a poultry house, animal shed, privy, and storage/equipment shed; and a log structure, probably originally part of a wagon shed or small barn, most recently used as a sheepfold.
