The Sutherland Wilson farmhouse exists as an excellent example of the New England One-and-a-half Cottage. Built in the Greek Revival style between 1830 and 1865, this type takes its name from its most fundamental distinguishing characteristic -- its one-and-one half story height. It has a gable roof with the eave lines parallel the street or road. The New England One-an-a-half Cottage house form was often built wherever lot frontages were wide enough to accommodate it and it is the long dimension of the dwelling that presents its facade to the public.
