From AT 1302 entry:
Robert Crosby Hill House, circa 1865. Vernacular Farmhouse. Robert Crosby Hill came to Whidbey Island in 1853, in search of work, and took a Donation Land claim, eventually building this house. In 1883, Hill sold his farm to E.H.S. Spangler. Wilbur Sherman bought the property from the heirs of Joe Arnold in 1938, and had carpenter Fred Krueger build an addition on the west facade in 1949. Only 3 original windows remain intact: the others were replaced in 1960 by Sherman. In 1979, Sherman sold the property to local farmer Robert Engle who continues to use the land surrounding the R.C. Hill House for agicultural purposes.
Located at 1453 W. Hill Road, Coupeville.
1995: one contributing building, one contributing structure.
