Description and history

Begun in 1808 construction of the house was completed in 1813. It is located at 1320 Four-Mile Creek Road in the Hanover Township. The original plan for the building was a simple rectangle of coursed stone. The facade has five bays with a recessed doorway in the center. The door has a single light transom and stone voussoir. The six over six light windows were set deeply in wood frames and had stone sills and voussoirs. The two gable ends both had a large interior chimney and two square windows. Additions and alterations have been made to the original one story stone house. A classical architrave was added to the entry in 1939. It has also been known as The Davidson House. [2]
