OHD Notes
July 2010 description: "Built in 1860, home is for the serious historian. It was built as a residence, general store, and also served as the post office for approx 20 yrs. Rumor has it that it was a stop on the underground railway. Most of the second story is taken up by a 60x28 room used as a meeting place/dance hall. There is a raised stage at one end. In the 1950's when St Rt 45 was widened, the part of the structure used as a general store had to be removed as it would have been too close to the road. The post office room is still there. The home has fallen into serious disrepair, and will require significant repairs. There is a 28x40 barn also built in 1860, which has more recently been used as a 2 car garage and workshop. The 60x28 second floor room could make a great gym/family entertainment room. The 27x15 room noted as other is the old post office. One of the additional photos show the structure as it appeared in 1899."
