It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]

History and architectural features

This historic house is a Georgian-style, stone farmhouse that was built circa 1808. An addition was later erected circa 1941. Other contributing buildings and structures are a stone and frame bank barn (c. 1810) with a carriage house addition (c. 1890), a stone spring house (c. 1810), a stone root cellar (c. 1810), a corn crib (c. 1895), a man-made pond (c. 1940), an outdoor oven (c. 1940), and an privy (c. 1900). The property also includes the burial site for Toots, the dog that inspired the story "Lassie Come-Home." Toots died in 1945; the burial site marker was added circa 1970. The story's author, Eric Knight (1897-1943), resided at Springhouse Farm from 1939 to 1943.[2]
