Plymouth, NY – $89,900

500 County Rd 44, Plymouth, NY 13815

This 12 acre parcel, just outside the City of Norwich, is the home of Thornbrook Hall. Thornbrook was built in 1790 and in later years was the home of local artist George E. Cook. There is a 3 bedroom 1 bath home on the property, former servant quarters, as well. Both homes are in unsafe and poor condition. The smaller home can more easily be brought back to use. Whether Thornbrook itself can be restored is questionable. Information on this listing refers to the smaller house, not Thornbrook itself. Search the web for Thornbrook Hall for additional historical information.
