Extant buildings and structures represent 87 years of construction, beginning with the original homestead house in 1894 and ending with the large machine shed and shop constructed in 1981.  The variety of building types and materials reveal the extent to which the area’s farmers utilized secondhand building materials and do-it-yourself techniques.  In addition, the spatial arrangement of the agricultural outbuildings on the approximately 160 acre site is typical of Larimer County and northeastern Colorado farming and ranching operations.
