Its 3.5-acre (1.4 ha) property, which includes five contributing buildings, was listed as Glen Dale on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

Significant features of the English barn include hand-hewn, post-and-beam, hardwood timber frame, with flared columns and half dovetail tenons on the girts.

Glen Dale Farm attained its present appearance under the ownership of Milo B. Williamson, a breeder of Merino sheep and "gentleman's driving horses".

The present Italianate style farmhouse and additional barns are pictured in Burgett's 1876 Illustrated and Topographical Atlas of the State of Vermont.

The barn complex is remarkably intact when compared to the Burgett illustration and constitutes one of the best surviving examples of nineteenth century stock and sheep farms in the state.

In partnership with Jerome P. Cherbino of Middlebury, he owned and bred Spanish stock Merino sheep during the period when Addison County dominated the world market.

Although the original farmhouse does not stand, Linsley probably built the existing English barn around 1775, as it is representative of the first major type of agricultural buildings constructed in Vermont.
