Like many 18th century houses, the Enos Kellogg House has been repeatedly expanded over the years through a series of additions. The additions to the Enos Kellogg House are as follows:
Addition 1
Early in the history of the house, an addition was made across the back (east) of the kitchen, effectively bumping out the rear wall of that room by just over 6.5 feet. The old rear wall was removed, exposing the framing posts that had previously marked the back wall of the house, and a new exterior wall was installed. This new wall was timber framed. The marks of a screw point auger in an open mortise on a rear post indicate that the addition was added at some point after 1800. The net addition to the house was approximately 162 square feet.Addition 2
At an indeterminate point in time, but after or concurrent with Addition 1, an addition was made across the back (north) of the Milk Room. The existing rear wall of the Milk Room was left intact, but a new room was added behind the Milk Room, with access from Addition 1 space in the Kitchen. Addition 2 was timber framed, using square rule framing techniques. The net addition to the house was approximately 80 square feet. The original function of this room is impossible to determine with certainty, although it is currently used as a bedroom. A rounded, charred depression in the rear beam of this addition indicates the presence of a heating source with a stove pipe, and this evidence is further confirmed by Victorian era photographs.
Addition 3
At an indeterminate point in time, but after Addition 2, an addition was made on the north side of Addition 2, effectively bumping out the side wall of that room by 8 feet. The old side wall of addition 2 was removed, and a new exterior wall was installed. Addition 3 was timber framed, using square rule framing techniques. The net addition to the house was approximately 80 square feet.Addition 5
At an indeterminate point in time, but after Addition 2, an addition was made to the east (rear) of the house, with access from Addition 1 in the Kitchen. Addition 5 was timber framed, although framing is not currently visible other than from the crawl space below. The net addition to the house was approximately 143 square feet. The original function of this room is impossible to determine with certainty, although it is currently used as a dining room. Addition 6
At some point in the late 19th or early 20th century, a timber framed agricultural building from elsewhere on the property was moved and butted against the house on the north side of Addition 5. The net addition to the house was approximately ???? square feet. The original function of this addition is impossible to determine. Presently used as a kitchen and garage, the building may have continued to serve an agricultural purpose, may have been used as a carriage house or automobile garage, or may have been converted to domestic use as a kitchen or other public space. It is also conceivable that the building served a commercial purpose, as the property functioned as a nursery in the late 19th century. Victorian era photographs of the house show a similarly sized and shaped building located to the rear of the house, and it is likely that this structure is Addition 6.Addition 7
At an indeterminate point in time, an addition was made to the north wall of the original house, with access from the entry way to the North Room. Addition 7 was timber framed, using square rule techniques, and was set on a insubstantial fieldstone foundation and a series of logs which served as sleepers for the floor. The net addition to the house was approximately ??? square feet. While it is known that this space was used in the 20th century as a bathroom, the original purpose of this addition is impossible to determine with certainty.Addition 8
In 2006, Addition 7 was demolished. Extensive rot to the log sleepers and framing timbers and a deteriorating foundation made the structure irreparable. To replace Addition 7, a new, two story addition was attached to the house. Addition 8 was balloon framed. On the first floor, ??? square feet of space was constructed, to be used as a master bathroom. Salvaged timbers from Addition 7 were recycled for use as decorative elements in the finished space. While clearly of modern construction, beaded vertical paneling, salvaged wide plank oak flooring, board and batten doors and salvaged and reproduction wrought iron hinges and thumb latches were installed to reflect the historic design elements found elsewhere in the house.
On the second floor, Addition 8 is accessed by a new doorway created in the place of a side window in the circa 1910 bathroom. On the second floor, ??? square feet was added to extend the bathroom, providing space for a shower stall, and storage closets. As on the first floor section of Addition 8, salvaged wide plank oak flooring, board and batten doors and reproduction wrought iron hinges and thumb latches were installed to reflect the historic design elements found elsewhere in the house. The south wall of this space, previously the exterior (north) wall of the house, is clad in horizontal beaded paneling copied from the beaded sheathing found beneath the shingles around the structure.
