Coombe Historic District

[1] To the east, the eighteenth-century facade stands among a group of trees and frame outbuildings, about 400 feet south of the road where the Coombe House lies.

A full facade hip-roofed veranda supported by 4 hollow wooden columns was added to the west elevation, proclaiming the change.

Members of the present owner's family recall an oral account indicating that thirteen steel hatchets were worn down in the process of scoring the brick to insure a good bond for the new stucco.

The kitchen wing is also stuccoed but it is unscored and has a steeply-sloped, shed-roofed, wraparound porch on the west elevation now covered with corrugated tin.

Dating back to the 1880s remodeling, the few remaining shutters on the first story feature flat panels framed by applied Grecian ogee moldings against the stiles and rails.
