Provenance note:: William Elliott (planter, mill owner, and builder), first owner.
Architectural note:: Elliott oriented his barn and stable in opposite directions, at a right angle. The stable utilized a tranverse crib plan with the stalls flanking the runway, while the barn featured a main runway that was parallel to the roof ridge. Both buildings employed an innovative system of adjustable partitions that allowed for flexible storage and ventilation.
