History and architectural features

The older house was built circa 1825 as the Ironmaster's mansion by Martha Pennock, widow of Isaac Pennock, for her son Isaac. It is a two-story, five-bay, stuccoed, stone, Federal-style dwelling. The second house was built circa 1840, and is a two-story, four-bay, stuccoed, stone, Greek Revival-style dwelling. It features a full-width, front verandah. The mill complex where the houses are located was the home of Rebecca Lukens (1794–1854), daughter of Martha Pennock, for a short time after her marriage to Charles Lukens. ^[2]
