Abstract:

Charles and Karen Vaughan took a home owned by Charles’ great-great grandfather and restored it to its former glory. There were a few renovations not specific to the original house such as the added kitchen space, converting the barn into a guesthouse, and the chicken coop into an outdoor living space. The furnishings are from a variety of periods, and the house was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
