The Schoolmaster’s House

Description

Located just off Meetinghouse Square, this home was built by the Meeting in 1758, as testified by date stones by the door, to attract a Schoolmaster. 

Construction

Originally a fieldstone structure of one story plus a loft.  Expanded to two stories with wood frame construction at a later date.

Uses

Always used as the schoolmaster’s home. Currently rented as a single-family home.

Current Owner

The Falls Friends Meeting. On long-term lease to Historic Fallsington, inc.

Notes

A squirrel-tail oven is an interesting detail.
