Description
An early settler's log house built in the 1760's. It is one of the oldest in the state still standing on its original site. Constructed on the plan of early Swedish settlers, with the characteristic corner fireplace.
Construction
Built of hand-hewn, dovetailed logs with mortar chinking. A subsequent frame addition was added by cabinetmaker Samuel Moon, who was locally famous for his Windsor-style chairs.
Uses
A home that changed hands many times and was eventually purchased in 1884 by Mary A. Williamson who resided there during the summer months. Upon her death it was bequeathed to the Episcopal Archdiocese. It was acquired by Historic Fallsington, Inc. in 1967 and restored.
Current Owner
Historic Fallsington, Inc.
Landscaping
The two large sycamore trees are said to be "bride and groom trees" planted in honor of early occupants.
