The farmstead was listed on the National Register partly for its architecture and also for the site's archeological potential: it was deemed "an excellent example of a relatively undisturbed historic farmstead" with likely valuable deposits relating to occupation and use of the farmstead in the 1800s.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
The house has been demolished.
The site was delisted from the National Register in 2001.[1]
