Charles Bligh bought this 58 farm in 1927 from M.L. Disbro. In 1956 they raised cattle and hogs. The fancy filigree trim on the roof is the work of Philip Buck who built at least three houses with this touch in the Penfield area. The age of the house is unknown, the addition to the right was built in 1906. The house and most of the barns are still there, although sadly, the house has lost it's fancy trim. On the north side of Rt 18 west of Rt 301, Penfield Township. See photo 16 also.

Featured as Mystery Farm number 7 by the Wellington Enterprise on January 12, 1956. Search the Lorain County home page for "mystery" to see other farms.
