Description
This large, rambling brick and frame structure is associated with one of America's earliest and most important iron producing enterprises. A charcoal iron furnace was established here in 1739, and except for a hiatus after the Revolution, manufacturing continued until 1890. The manor, begun around 1810 as the ironmaster's residence, was presented to the state in the 1930s. -- National Historic Landmark statement of significance, November 13, 1966National Register information
