The property on the north-east corner of Buck Rd. and East Holland Rd. was purchased by Orleans Builders and the barn was demolished in July 1990. There is a sketch of this property on the 1859 map and also an enlarged photograph taken in 1913. The manor house still stands in the development, "Hills of Northampton."
