However, when he settled there, the present road did not even exist. He was really closer to what is now termed a "back road".
The house is still standing and is amazingly well preserved. The original section is of stone, stuccoed, complete with huge fireplace, and Dutch door. Behind the fireplace was a full width room, probably used for the parents' bedroom. Above was the loft for the older children, which was warmed by the fireplace. It stayed in the Herbert family until the early 1900's.
A stone plaque on the property, mistakenly naming Johannes Peter Apgard (1714- ? ) as the family patriarch, marks the homestead.
