History and architectural features[edit]

The original section of this historic structure was completed in 1742 and is a two-and-one-half-story, rectangular, gable-roofed, brick building that measures thirty-two feet wide and twenty-eight feet deep. A small two-story kitchen addition was built sometime before 1798, and was later replaced with a two-story wing. That wing was removed during a 1981 restoration, which returned the building to its 1742 appearance.

The building serves as a museum and home to the Delaware County Tourist Bureau.^[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]
