 The two sections were connected via a 1-story hyphen with large windows on its side walls.The 1832 Greek Revival home in the front is much larger in scale and mass than the original 1797 hall and parlor house.The new front has a neoclassical entrance and porch (probably salvaged from an earlier home in Warren County or along the Roanoke River), This porch features many "Jeffersonian" details, and the double front door surrounded by glass transom and sidelights which were mentioned in the book, "Life on the Roaring Roanoke".
