Built in the early 1800s. They lived upstairs and the livestock lived downstairs. The lower part was still in use by the cows when I was a child. This and the great house are constructed from local stone. The house walls are 2 and a half feet thick. There were "gun ports" on the top floor of the house and an escape tunnel running from the root cellar to a hill side exit. All in fear of an Indian attack that never came.
