Herbin
House
R E C L A I M E D A N T I Q U E S T O N E
The
old Herbin Homestead built in 1896 for French immigrants. Constructed of a
local white limestone quarried not one half mile from its location. The
lime putty was slaked in the creek along its eastern border and is of the
very best quality. It has a grand entrance with a parlor, dining room,
library, kitchen and four bedrooms. The wood work included doorways with
transoms on the first level and pocket doors. The exterior was detailed
with corbels and a fleur de lis pattern along the fascia. The quoins were
all sawn and beveled. There are two spring courses at the sill levels and
the field is a pitch faced block with sawn head joints. The interior wythe
is an axe flattened block of random widths.
