History

Established in 2007.

The Black Sheep Inn is housed in an unusual style of architecture known as the «Octagon Mode», and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the T.M. Younglove Octagon House. The T.M. Younglove Octagon House, constructed in this intriguing manner, is a two-​story, Italianate stucco covered stone building consisting of the main octagon shape, constructed in 1859, and two, rectangular wings added to the North and East faces of the eight-​sided structure in 1882. The entire dwelling is comprised of stone masonry with stucco applied to all of the exterior walls.

The southern elevation would be considered the main façade, which is highlighted by the original, paneled-​wood double doors. The front doors were initially protected by an Italianate wood frame porch, which featured simple box columns and a flat roofline. This small front porch was later replaced with a much larger, and ornate, Victorian-​style porch, complete with spindles and detailed railings. More recentl
