The Sol Akins House is a two-story Plantation Plain-style house with brick exterior chimneys at its ends, and a rear ell, and a Z-shaped back porch. It was added in the 1880s onto an original c.1864 one-story four-room dogtrotlog house. The listing includes a second contributing building, which is a c. 1864 double-crib log barn, and a cemetery.[2]
