History and architectural features

William Newlin inherited the land from his father, John Newlin, who bought the land in 1788. He built the house and a sawmill, which was described in 1858 as a "frame sawmill with stone foundations driven by an 18-foot overshoot wheel with a 5-foot face."

The house has two stories and is banked into a hill. It is built of "trash stone" and has a frame addition and porch. The sawmill was owned by William Speakman, a local carpenter, from 1876 to 1895. The mill has since been destroyed.[2]
