History and architectural features

Built circa 1770, this historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay by two-bay, stone dwelling with a gable roof and pent. It was originally the ironmaster's home and office at an eighteenth-century iron forge. The forgemaster, John Young, and his wife, Susanna, lived there with their five children: John, Elizabeth, Susanna, Sarah and George.^[2] The forge operated from roughly 1760 to 1800. The house later became a farmhouse.

In 1925, the property was sold to the Catholic Church for use as a boy's summer camp. The camp closed during the late-1970s.^[3]

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]
