(Workman Farm) Hurricane Tavern is a rural farmstead containing a brick farmhouse built ca. 1811 with major alterations and additions ca. 1850 and ca. 1920, an 1885 frame farmhouse, a ca. 1924 country store, a collection of twenty-seven intact late nineteenth and early twentieth century agricultural outbuildings, a ca. 1948 ten-acre agriculturally-related lake, and approximately 250 acres of historically terraced agricultural fields. The principal residence is a significant example of a vernacular interpretation of Federal period residential architecture, also demonstrating its evolution over time by its vernacular interpretation of the Craftsman style in its early twentieth century addition. The interior details of the ca. 1811 Federal portion are highly decorative and are fine examples of a vernacular interpretation of the Adamesque style, while those of the ca. 1920 Craftsman addition incorporate many design elements echoing and complementing the interior of the ca. 1811 house. Hurricane Tavern and its collection of agricultural outbuildings are also significant as a significant local center of agriculture, commerce, and social activity for much of the twentieth century. Listed in the National Register July 19, 2001.
