The frame residence of the classical design was built in the 1920’s by
Judge David Todd, a circuit Court Clerk and county representative.
He was known as the “Father of the County” because of his knowledge
of statute laws and advising thereof. Built
as a 2/3rds house, the structure was enlarged to the east to create a central
hall plan. The structure is 2 rooms deep with 2 chimneys at each end.
On the north is a one-bay, one-story flat roof porch.
The second story has an entrance, but the current porch has no
balustrade. The porch is supported by paired square frame columns at the
house and 3 columns in the outer corners. To
the southwest is a one-story, gable tin-roofed ell.
To the south of that was a breezeway, now enclosed with vertical board
and batten siding. This breezeway connected the Main Structure to a one-story
clapboard addition probably used as a summer kitchen. Alleys run to the west and south of the home, and there are 2
outbuildings.
