Inscription. A classic Folk Victorian home built by H.V. Randolph, featuring a rock-faced stone foundation and a cross-gabled roof.

Mr. Randolph was 1890's Vice President of The L. Brucker Stove and Hardware Company.

Prior to this home's construction, between 1830 until the 1890's, this site was the former rear churchyard of the old St. Paul's German Evangelical Church.

During the French colonial period of the late 1700's this location served as stockyards for a nearby hilltop French windmill mapped in 1799 as ‘Moulin a vent.’
