History and architectural features

This district includes seventy-six contributing buildings and one contributing site that are located in the linear village of Pottstown Landing. The buildings date from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries and primarily include residential buildings. Also included are a number of contributing outbuildings, a school, and a church. The oldest buildings are associated with the Joseph Rieff stone farmhouse (c. 1780). The village developed along the banks of the Schuylkill River and increased after the opening of the Schuylkill Canal. ^[2]
