Built in 1832 from bricks made on the farm, the Armitage House was originally a "bank" house, with the main entrance on the second floor. In the early 1900s, the
Armitage family opened up two more rooms in the downstairs, and put in a central hall and stairway, furnace and bathroom. Water was supplied by a windmill-operated well that pumped water to a cistern on the hill behind the house.
Gravity then carried the water to the house. Over the years, three families have lived in the house - the Armitage, the Balls, and the DePues.
