Jay Slater’s Residence, Gardner Township, Sangamon County, Illinois
The Jay Slater house is a classic Greek Revival farmhouse. It is a small neat brick house that still stands just a short distance from Farmington west of Springfield. It was most likely an active station on the underground railroad. The house is a one and half story rectangle with a center pediment at the front (east side) facing the road. There are two bays or windows on the front with a center doorway with sidelights and transom light. The gable ends have two bays on the first floor and in the pediment there are two windows allowing light and air to the second story sleeping area. There are two chimneys, one at each peak of the gable ends.
