  ## Description and history
  
  Far Horizons is located in central southern Dublin, high on the eastern flank of Mount Monadnock, at the end of a long drive up the mountainside from Learned Road. At an elevation of about 1,800 feet (550 m), it is one of the highest in the town. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, with a hipped roof and exterior finished in board siding. The Queen Anne house features an octagonal turret on one of its front corners, and verandahs on two sides. A gabled dormer projects from one face above the verandah. A single-story gabled ell extends to the north, and a two-car garage and former carriage house stand nearby.
  
  Henry Dwight Learned built the house as a seasonal residence on his family's farm in 1898–99. Learned was prominent in local affairs, and served as a state senator. Physicist Robert Kraichnan was one of its 20th-century owners; Kraichnan put an addition on the house in 1968, and adapted it for year-round occupation.
