Dated to about 1840, it has stone foundation and walls of large cut, quoined stone, a gable roof, stucco end chimneys, and an irregular plan with four bays across the front and five along the side. Later wings appear to have been added, and the interior has been completely altered. The house stands on an estate of about 2.1 acres, screened from the road by a stone wall and extensive landscaping, in a neighborhood of mostly ranch houses. The property is recorded under the theme of local history. Its main historical link is the reconstructed cabin of Ludwig Sells on the grounds, which was first erected in 1803. The house was included in a survey of historic resources in Washington Township, and it remains a private residence.","period_of_significance":"ca 1840","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"The form says the interior has been completely altered and several wings appear to have been added.
