This is the original front. The house has been extensively remodeled since the Civil War. The porch is a later addition, probably in the first third of the 20th century. The wing to the back was probably built at the same time. The window on the second floor appears to be original, while the ones on the first floor were probably added at the same time as the rear addition.
