has a very large warm and friendly kitchen and porches all around.

The History: The
house was built around 1890 and was owned by the G.O. Kimball family
until around 1930. The home was vacant until 1940, when it was purchased
by George Bailey, a local subsistence farmer. The house was then transferred
to his son, Alfred Bailey, a local farmer and worker in Hardwick's
Sam Daniel's foundry. The home was purchased by the present owner
in 1979 and has undergone extensive renovations.
