1740 farmhouse, a stone barn (the oldest standing in West Virginia), a springhouse of about the same age, a wooden curing shed, and 60+ acres of pasture and woods.

During the Revolutionary War, Andrew and his wife Nancy provided food, lodging, and horses to Washington's troops.

For such an endeavor, the site benefited from its location on the most direct route between Frederick, Maryland and Winchester, Virginia.

By 1845, Eleanor Locke, John's daughter, was living in the house with her husband, Joseph Morrow, a farmer who also operated a blacksmith shop across the road near the springhouse during the Civil War.
