The house at Cedarcroft has been modernized, yet it retains its 1890s appearance. While many people of the Victorian era painted their houses in various colors, conservative farmers like John A. Adams stuck with good old white. Even the porch trim was white (but we've spiffied it up for a little contrast in photos). The house was built over a period of years, but it appears to have been planned from the beginning, The lightning rods on the roof are still operational, but the chimneys have been removed to provide a more secure environment.

Guests like to relax in the antique church pew on the Old Front Porch. Guests who smoke use the official Cedarcroft ashtray on the porch - a bedpan filled with catlitter - but they may have to share it with one of the neighborhood squirrels. Actually, from family photographs and published pictures, we can date the porch to somewhere between 1890 and 1895.

The wagon is a corn wagon provided by a neighbor, and the bell is a recent casting of an old style bell (go ahead and ring it!). The stones for the walkway were quarried right on the place (as were all the foundation stones).
