Adriance Farmhouse

USA / New York / Lake Success /
 farm, farmhouse
Jacob Adriance built his Dutch-style farmhouse in 1772, with a steeply pitched roof, four-foot overhanging eaves, and hand-split shingles on the exterior. Two unusual features are the English-style central chimney and the northern orientation of the house, which was possible because nearby hills protected the structure from winter winds. The home was doubled in size by Peter Cox between 1833 and 1840.
