It was built using fieldstone with light colored and red sandstone quoins. It has a later, 1+12-story rear addition. Also located on the property are a stone and wood frame bank barn, spring house, lime kilns, granary, corn crib, and wagon shed. The Levan Farm was established by Isaac Levan circa 1730 with a land grant from William Penn. [2]
