Summary

Significance: Although architecturally simple in design, the Ballast House contains exceptionally fine, attractive 18th century style interior woodwork in remarkably good condition. The original kitchen, once a separate structure, contains an original bake oven, which is one of the many varieties of bake oven designs recorded in the region. The house, known locally as the Brick House, is one of the very few pre-1840 buildings still standing in the county that have not suffered extensive physical alterations.
