The "main house" is the first quarried home in Pennsylvania and was built using the property's own quarry. On this location, there stood a log cabin that was built in the 1600's. The original owner was a blacksmith who used the abundant lime stone to make flux in an old lime kiln. The house was added to approximately every 80 years. The serpentine addition with its main staircase was used as the f

irst public library in Chester County. In the mid 1800's, a kitchen was added with a beehive oven. The oven doors still exist and this room eventually became a dining room. Finally, a modern kitchen was added in the 1940's. Over the years other buildings were added including a large stone spring house, a bank barn in 1740, and another farm house in 1812. The 1812 house and the main house were later used as stops on the Underground Railroad.
