Built circa 1820 for John Adam Folk (1799-1855), this house is an excellent example of a 19th-century two-story farmhouse. Folk, a farmer and merchant, also served as postmaster at Tanner's Hill, now Pomaria, from 1829 to 1840. It later became the home of Folk's daughter Martha and her husband Thomas W. Holloway (1829-1903), who chartered the town of Pomaria in 1903, and it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
