About this property

J. B. Royce House and Farm Complex is a historic home and farm complex located at Berkshire in Tioga County, New York. The house was built about 1829 in a vernacular Greek Revival style. About 1850 it was extensively altered with the construction of a higher, more steeply pitched roof and an ell-shaped Gothic Revival style porch with Tudor-arched details. Also on the property is a contributing mid-19th century barn with decorative bargeboards, a shed, and a small Greek Revival structure now used as a garage. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
