Date:	1983
The Bemis Farm House was built in 1890 on a hill overlooking the small town of Littleton. It was originally a four-room, wood frame structure, with a porch and kitchen added in 1900. The house was moved to its present site at the Littleton Historical Museum in 1975. It was restored as a part of the museum’s living history farm. Madison R. Graham measured the house and drafted the six-sheet set using standards set by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). Bess Althaus Graham compiled the history of the house. The drawings are on file at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

The front elevation reveals a typical
midwestern Victorian cottage.

The side elevations clearly show the porch addition on the front of the house (top, right) and the kitchen addition at the rear (top, left

The floor plan shows the overall dimensions of the house, as well as floor textures and roof overhangs (dashed line).
