History and architectural features

Built between 1832 and 1835, this historic structure is a two-story, brick and frame dwelling that sits on a partially exposed basement. A two-story rear addition was built circa 1904. Included in the listing is the Roebling Shop, which was built in 1841. A one-story, gable-roofed, clapboard-covered, frame building, it was the shop of noted civil engineer John A. Roebling (1806-1869), who was also a founder of Saxonburg. [2] Sometime after its listing, the shop was moved from its original location at the intersection of Rebecca and Main Streets, to Roebling Park, along Rebecca Street.
