Description

Buildings roughly in the same outline/orientation as extant structures shown as Wideopen Farm on the 1842 Tithe Plan. However, the farm is probably earlier in date as buildings are schematically represented in this location on Armstrong's County map 1769 labelled as East Farm and on an Estate Plan 1757 (named Greenshouses).
