Adams-Gray House, Neoclassical house in Adams Mills, United States.
Description
The Adams-Gray House is a two and a half story dwelling with neoclassical design located in Cass Township. The structure features a sandstone foundation, a slate roof, and a layout organized around a central hallway that extends through multiple rooms.
History
The house was built in 1840 by Edward G. Adams, an early settler in the area. Its construction came at a time when the region was experiencing frontier expansion and development.
Culture
Cast iron fireplace reliefs inside feature artistic depictions of classical and literary subjects. These decorative elements reflect the refined tastes of 19th century residents.
Practical
The central hallway design allowed for cross-ventilation throughout the house during warmer seasons. Visitors should be aware that the building's location straddling two county boundaries affects its historical and geographic significance today.
Did you know?
A kitchen fire in 2019 caused extensive damage to the structure, with adverse weather conditions causing it to reignite the following day. This catastrophic event destroyed much of the original house and changed its current status.
