The white two-and-a-half story home sits on a 38-acre property. The South-facing side of the house, where the front door is located, has a wide farmer’s porch running along its width.

The only change the Greens have made to the outside of the house was adding a deck and above-ground pool at the back.

Frank Green bought the house in 1993. He said it was originally built by and owned by the Helms family for many decades.

“There’s quite a few houses that are similar to this around the country that were built in 1914,” Frank Green explained. “Those were the parity years of agriculture. That’s when farmers really made some money … years when they had a little extra money.”

Belinda Green has meticulously designed each room of the 107-year-old farmhouse near Burnside. The living room features a cowhide rug, cow print throw pillows and a horsehide across the couch.

Today, Belinda Green is responsible for much of the interior design of the house and her influence can be found in each room. Country and farm decor fill the walls and shelves of the home.

Rodeo photos fill frames on the walls, a horsehide lays draped over the couch, a saddle and lasso rest in a corner.

“It’s hard not to have pictures everywhere,” Belinda Green said.

Frank Green provides the wild horses for the wild horse races at the annual Dayton Labor Day Rodeo.

The second floor has four bedrooms, and on the main floor is a living room, dining room, kitchen and parlor. The kitchen has been remodeled to fit more with modern times. On the main floor, the rooms are separated with pocket doors, which were common at the time of the house’s construction.

Frank and Belinda Green’s two-and-a-half story farmhouse sits near Burnside in rural Webster County. The house was built in 1914 and, with the exception of a deck off the back of the house, it looks very much the same as it did 100 years ago.

While the house itself looks very much the same as it did 107 years ago, inside, the Greens have made it their own unique farmhouse home.
