A small wooden farmhouse is built in the Fordham countryside
The cottage was built around 1812, architect unknown, as a one-and-a-half-story wooden farmhouse with an attic and a porch. Such farm cottages were once common in this part of the city, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission counted it among the few early 1800s wooden farmhouses still standing in the Bronx in good condition.
