Full description
T-shaped house.
Smaller northeast to southwest wing of brick with stepped northeast gable containing two blocked windows one above the other; and on southeast porch tower with stepped gables. Early 17th century. Northwest to southeast wing much
larger, massive groups of chimneys, stepped gable on southeast and shaped gable with Venetian window over bay window on southwest. What is the date of this? Is it very good 19th/20th century imitation? Probably, rather than just heavily restored.
