John French Farm, South Grand River, Deepwater, Henry County, MO

Significance: Was a stock farm of more than a 1000 acres with improvements of fine quality. The large two story house with a one story rear ell is exceptional in the area for its size and detailing, and demonstrates the perseverance of a vernacular type current in Kentucky in the mid-19th century. The complex includes a large three aisle barn, a smokehouse/root cellar and a log house remodeled to serve as an animal shelter/shed.
