Farragut House At Stony Point

The Farragut house at Stony Point is described as having been unusually large for a log structure. Originally it was forty by twenty feet, with additional rooms built later which greatly added to its size. Through its walls were two loop-holes for purposes of defense against the Indians. This house
is no longer in existence. The place of its location was sold by Major Farragut to Elisha Jarnagin, from whom it was purchased by Abraham Low; and thereby it gained the name of Low's Ferry. [Source]
