Here's what the website says about it:
"Acquired in December of 2008, Fieldstone Farm is a 52-acre property. The land is a mix of woodlands and fallow fields, with Tank Creek flowing along the northern boundary of the property. The property also has two freshwater ponds and numerous hillside springs and wetland areas. The remains of a picturesque old stone house that burned down in the 1960's can be found in the northern part of the property.
Property records indicate that a Carl Tielenius owned the property in the late 1800's to the early 1900’s. We believe that Carl Tielenius built the house on the property for his daughter in the early 1900’s. The stone house and was built using slipform masonry construction. Slipforming is an old style of masonry, resulting in a random appearance, without the uniform joints or sharp, clean lines of most modem masonry."

Michelle,
What a neat story behind the old house. I hope it's restored, too. It would be so beautiful.

I hate seeing homes no longer being taken care of and loved. I always wonder what the orginal owners would think of all their hard work.
What a beautiful backdrop for a wedding though.
I love those photos, and the bit of history! So many stories must be held within those wonderful stone walls. (: Vicki
Mmmm....SO pretty! :)
Smiles,
