Farmhouse at Historic Oak View:
The Greek Revival Farmhouse at Historic Oak View County Park was built by Benton S.D. Williams in 1855. The Greek Revival style is typified by the front columns and the double portico porch. During the 1940's the Poole Family renovated the home, building an addition in the Colonial Revival Style.
