The Stoppel Farmhouse

This limestone farmhouse built by George Stoppel has stood largely unchanged for the last century.

If you look carefully at the sides of the home, you can see a diagonal mark in the architecture which indicates the original roofline of the back half of the home. The home was damaged in the 1883 Tornado which tore through Rochester, but George saw it as an opportunity to expand the home. This addition added new rooms to the second floor and expanded the attic - the attic still houses a section of the original roof.
