5. The Legg Farm House

THE LEGG FARM HOUSE


This is the third oldest structure in Stevensville, one of two with fish-scale siding. Wooden pegs used in its construction can be seen in the attic. This house was owned by Bloody Point lighthouse keeper Moses Legg and his wife, Ann Wrightson Legg. The street was then named New Legg Road, later changed to Locust Street. Subsequent owners were Charles Eareckson and Caroline Anderson Tolson, followed by Walter and Elizabeth Baker and their children, Raymond, and Betty.
