The oldest section of the {{frac|1|1|2}}-story stuccoed brick house was built in 1721. The house is located on an elevated site, within an informally landscaped yard which retains evidence of historic terracing. Also on the property is a late-19th-century brick dairy.[2] White House Farm was built in 1721 by Daniel Perkins who was a miller and stone cutter, newly arrived from New Hampshire. He arrived in Kent County in 1710 and obtained the milling rights to dam the West branch of Morgan Creek. Remnants of this dam are still visible from Rt 213. He not only built a small house there with the flour mill but also a sawmill and a fulling mill. After acquiring more property in 1720, he began building the larger brick home up on the hill for his family, over-looking his mills. The White House Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1] The White House Farm was purchased by a 9th generation, direct descendant of Daniel Perkins and operates as a USDA Certified Organic Farm. This farm with its white house, is sometimes confused with Historic Stepney Manor in Chestertown, MD which was also painted white, for visibility, at some point in time.
