This is the VanKirk homestead built by Andrew "Jack" Jackson Van Kirk in 1867. The house and farm of 263 acres were occupied by his grandson, Lochary Van Kirk and his wife Amanda and is now owned by William and Linda Burun. The roof once had a cupola, which burned in 1968. Another home very similar in architecture, is at the end of VanKirk Road on Main Street and was built by A.J. VanKirk's brother Morgan Putnam "Put" VanKirk at a later date, and is owned by Eric Bean. Still another stands in the middle of the village and was built by Percival Dudley and is now occupied by the George Howe family.
