There are four distinct types of architecture, beginning at the southern end with the original 1785 log home, moving to the two-story stone house added in 1810, then to the 1836 brick addition and attached to the log house, and the family room added in 1983.
Entry is through the comfortable family room, in which is displayed Mr. DeBergh’s extensive collection of American Indian artifacts. Through the doorway is the low-ceilinged main room of the log house, now the kitchen with a fireplace on the left. The overhead beams are original.
History, antique and architecture buffs will have a field day in this lovely home.
