Henry Blair was an accomplished cabinet maker, windmill maker, teacher and farmer. He served as Clerk of Court in 1850 and was also a store owner. The property has traditionally been used for crops and today still yields hay.
The Blair House was built in 1844, a 10-room hall-parlor house with Victorian architectural elements. The structure has a metal roof, and an enclosed porch that was added in the 1930s. Chestnut, maple and oak are used inside the house, with the frame built of pine and hemlock. The original stone support pillars are still in place, though a cinder block skirting was built in the 1950s. The property also features a two-story carriage house, a tool shed, and an 1844-era log smokehouse.
