History and description
Caleb Shinn purchased the farmland in 1809. At his death in 1835, his adopted daughter, Mary Wright Rossell, inherited the property. She married William Ridgway in 1836, but died after their daughter, Elizabeth Ridgway, was born. Elizabeth inherited the property and lived with her father William. According to the nomination form, he likely built the house, which dates to around 1840 based on architectural evidence. Elizabeth married John B. Deacon in 1857. The three-story building features Federal architecture. The listing also includes a Louden dairy barn built around 1920.[3]
