Description
The significance of the house related to both architecture and agricultural history. The house is a conservative yet idiosyncratic example of the mid- to late- 18th-century Georgian tradition in the Delaware Valley. The double pile house originally related to a variant of the four-room, corner-passage plan, adding important segregated spaces including a plant room and a hired man's room, as adjuncts to the principal rooms. -- Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS PA-203)National Register information
