The main dwelling at Limestone Farm consists of a long, narrow two-story central section flanked by two wings.
the main section was built about 1840, and the wings appear to be two small late-18th-century dwellings that were incorporated into the larger building.
The house underwent another major renovation in the 1920s, when Colonial Revival-style detailing was added.
Limestone's owner in the late-18th century, Robert Sharp, was a neighbor and acquaintance of Thomas Jefferson.
