Hirst House

The Hirst House, built in 1962 off Rolling Road, incorporates silos from the family farm in its construction. The architect split the silos lengthwise to create barrel walls of the house roof and ceiling.

This 2.36 acre estate and main residence is an outstanding example of the work of renowned contemporary architect Charles M. Goodman with his distinctive Barrel Roofline similar to his development in River Park in Washington DC. Mid-century modern lovers will delight in this spectacular 3,100 square foot example of his work with soaring ceilings including two level foyer with spiral staircase. The main house pictured here comes with 4 large bedrooms and 3 full baths. Originally part of a large farm, the property includes a caretaker's two bedroom cottage, a dairy farm, and other outbuildings.
