This now looks less like a farm homestead and more like a rural estate. Another view is here: https://vintageaerial.com/photos/ohio...

5377 Bunnell Hill Rd. The land is part of the original 1811 land patent to Adam Blain and Francis Jer (both men anglicized their names to Blin/Blinn and Eyer respectively). This property was conveyed by Daniel Blin (Adam Blain's son) to Josiah B Cafferty in 1859. The records indicate the house was built in 1844 and I'm unable to determine if it was built by the Blinn's or the Cafferty's. The farm remained in the Cafferty family until 1943.
