The
interior plan is of a narrow center-hall construction with
one room on each side of he hall. The first floor includes living room, dining room
and hall. There are four bedrooms and bath on the second floor. A rear
porch was enclosed and turned into the present kitchen. A small screened
porch has been added on the northeast side of the house toward the barn.
Some older structural methods have been used. The original board flooring exists
throughout the first and second floors. The interior walls are plastered.
The house is in good condition.
A small barn has been converted
into a garage at the rear of the house. A small corn crib is still extent
on the rear property. The house is sited in a westerly direction on about 14 acres of land.
From
the 1930's through 1986 Gordon Hutcheon and his wife Gertrud, a
Haring descendent, lived in the house. Gordon Hutcheon was Mayor of
Rockleigh for 40 years from 1942 to 1982.
