History and architectural features

This historic house is a 2+1⁄2-story, ell-shaped, stuccoed, stone structure with a gable roof. The oldest section dates to circa 1754, as a two-story, six-bay, two-room-over-two-room house that was designed in the Georgian style. Sometime around 1800, a three-bay section was added. Further expansion was then made in 1896 with the house renovated in 1933 for use as a clubhouse, at which time the property was converted to a nine-hole golf course. Also located on the property are a contributing bank barn, a carriage house, and two spring houses. During the American Revolution the house served as officer's quarters for American officers in late-1777 and early-1778, in conjunction with the encampment at Valley Forge. ^[2]
