Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The George Cheever Farm is a historic farmstead at the corner of Nelson and Tolman Pond Roads in Harrisville, New Hampshire. This 1½-story wood-frame house was built in the early 1860s, and is a well-preserved example of a period farmhouse. It is architecturally distinctive because of a rear saltbox style addition, and its shed-roof dormers.[1] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[2]

Description and history

The George Cheever Farm is located in a rural setting northwest of the village center of Harrisville, standing on a knoll close to the V-shaped junction of Nelson and Tolman Pond Roads. It is a 1½-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the left two obscured by an enclosed shed-roof porch. The front roof face is pierced by two shed-roof dormers, and the rear is extended by a saltbox-style ell, whose roof is at a lower pitch than the main roof. A single-story ell extends to the left side of the main block. The exterior styling of the house is vernacular, with simple corner boards and window surrounds.[1]

The house was built sometime between 1860 and 1863 by George Cheever, a farmer. The house is one of a modest number of mid-19th century farmhouses surviving in the town, and bears some resemblance to the slightly earlier Jabez Townsend House.[1]
