description

Summary

Significance: The Adams House is a good, late, example of a frame double pen (two-room) plan with open central hall, or "dogtrot," a folk house type indigenous to the rural South. Built in 1913, with a rear ell, it has never been significantly altered in plan, except for the relocation of doors from the central passageway to the front of the house. The house has served for most of its existence as the dwelling on a forty acre family-run farm.
