Walnut Hill: Dempsey Farm

The farm is located on Highway 97.

The farmhouse exhibits traditional bungalow style with a single story and porches. Materials are in their natual state. Cobblesotnes were laid up in foundations. The house harmonizes with its surroundings because of low broad proportions and lack of ornamentation.

The facade of the home faces west. There is an overstory of large water oaks. An adjoining garage apartment can be seen at the end of the driveway with the barn immediately to the rear.

The style of architecture is often referred to as Craftsman. These dwellings display a fine degree of craftsmanship and are constructed of materials left as close as possible to their natural state.

The walls are laid in quarried stone.

The conical building is used for drying corn.

The lean-to on the side of the barn is used as a chicken coop.
