It was built about 1868 and has been used as a residence continually. The farm's outbuildings also contribute to its historic character.","narrative":"Keddel and Liv Grimland built this limestone farmhouse about 1868 on what is now FM 219, roughly eight and a half miles southwest of Clifton in Bosque County, Texas. The house rises one and a half stories and faces south. Its five-bay front is symmetrical, with a central entrance under a small porch and six-over-six wood-sash windows on the ground floor. Stone chimneys at each end are flanked by four-over-four attic windows. A rear wing added later gives the plan an L shape, and gable roofs of composition shingles cover both sections. Stucco once covered the walls but has deteriorated, exposing the limestone beneath. Surviving farm buildings include the ruins of a log corn crib, a wood-frame barn with a broken-pitch gabled roof, and a small frame shed. The property was listed as part of a group of resources tied to the Norwegian settlement of Bosque County, chiefly as an excellent example of a symmetrical stone house.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Keddel and Liv Grimland","architectural_style":"Symmetrical stone house","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form lists the present use as vacant and the status as unoccupied, but describes the house as in good condition.
