P.A. Bowen Farmstead
15701 Dr. Bowen Road,
Aquasco
Built circa 1870 -- The P.A. Bowen house is a multisection frame dwelling. The 2-1/2-story, side-gabled main
block has a bracketed cornice and a wraparound porch with
ornate brackets and pendants. The 2-story south wing has
some of the same Italianate-style decorative trim, as well
as an unusual parapet roof treatment. The house was built
circa 1870 for the family of Philander A. Bowen; outbuildings built at that time and later include a smokehouse, corn
crib, dairy barn end tobacco barn. The Bowen house is one
of the County's best examples of the Italianate style, and,
together with the outbuildings, constitutes an excellent
physical representation of a nineteenth-century farmstead.
