Architectural description (Note significant features of plan, structural system and interior and exterior decoration, taking care to point
out aspects not visible or clear from photographs. Explain nature and period of all alterations and additions. List any outbuildings and
their approximate ages, cemeteries, etc.)
The Byers House is a fine mid 19th century e:iample of the Italianate style which has
retained many of its original architectural details. It is a 2 -story 3 -hay symmetrical
frame dwelling w/ 2 int. end brick chimneys w/ corbelling, 2/2 windows, and a low
stone basement. The central front octagonally paneled 4 -panel door has a single-l.igbt
transom above it. Other Italianate details include the paired brackets in the eaves
and the low-pitched hipped roof. The house has been covered in stucco and has corner -
boards. The 1 -story 3 -bay front porch is vernacular in style w/ square supports on
concrete piers, a hipped roof, a concrete pad, and plain friezeboard. To the rear of
the main house is a 2 -story hipped -roof wing w/ and int. brick chimney and side 2 -
story Italianate-style porches. The first 'floor of these porches have been enclosed
w/ 1/1 windows & a door, but the upper 4 -bays are open w/ chamfered Boric columns,
sawn brackets, pendants,.and balustrade. Behind the 2 -story wing is a 1 -,-story log
wing which may have served as the original house, or perhaps a summer kitchen. It has
an int. end brick chimney, 2/2 & 6/6 windows, 6 -light frieze windows, a plain frieze -
board, cornerboards, and a side bulkhead basement entry. The roof of this wing has
been hipped to match the rest of the house. To the side of the log wing is a modern
1 -story shed -roofed porch w/ square supports and a corrugated metal roof.
Outbuildings include a board & batten meathouse w/ overhang and 6 -light window, a frame
bank barn which is failing into ruins on a stone foundation, several frame sheds and
a large modern concrete block garage. The property is set well back from the road
amid several mature trees. A new driveway leads back to the property, however the
old drive is still evident. A concrete retaining wall is located below the house as
are several American wire fences.
A fine example of the Italianate style applied to an I -house plan dwelling. Is in
very original condition, one of few examples of this style in the county.
Interior inspected? NO.
Historical significance (Chain of title; individuals, families, events, etc., associated with the property.)
