6 Main Street - Kleinschmidt House and behind it a bakehouse/cottage with oven

Friedrich Wilhelm Kleinschmidt had vast land holdings from current Main Street east to Ridge Road; Cow Stall, dairy sheds and the Coach-house. Other land for grazing on Lenswood Road. Behind his much renovated stone and brick home at 6 Main Street is a Bakehouse/cottage of stone with brick chimney at the rear. It is now mostly covered in ivy.
