The Zuriel and Mary Weaver Paine Farm of c.1786 included woods for lumber and fields of grains and corn for livestock. Much of the original, one-and-a-half story house still stands (the portion of the existing house with the porch in front) and the original dairy barn. The foundation and interior framing suggest that the original house also included a room where the present kitchen stands, a full

cape house plan. It appears that house had end-gable chimneys rather than a center chimney (which is more typical for a cape-style floor plan - But the stairs and chimneys may have been altered when the house was enlarged in the 1820s). The original house is a simple, wood frame construction, built just like the barn. The frame is covered with hand-cut solid planks which are in turn covered by wood shingles. In the 1810s, the farm facilities were expanded to accommodate the cattle farming. Farming continued to include grains and corn for livestock feed. Farm wood was used to make caskets as a business, and the farm had a hearse and hearse-house. About the same time the farmhouse was enlarged by Andrew and Mary Turner Paine. In the 1820s, the farmhouse was expanded with a new kitchen, parlor, studies, and bedrooms. Part of the old house was demolished, and a new center brick chimney was constructed.
