This sign was added to this house in 1978. The house is absolutely beautiful (see pictures) and is privately owned. It is huge and colorful, just perfect for this community.

Located at 328 West Main Street in downtown Moorestown, this is one of 351 contributing buildings/structures to this historic district.

The Department of the Interior sent me the following narrative/information on this house:
"c.1850. 2 1/2-story, 3-register vernacular dwelling, clapboarded. 1920s wraparound porch, columns atop stone pedestals, stick balustrade. Side 3-light transomed entrance. Windows 6/1 double hung, paneled shutters first floor, louvered second floor. Box cornice with cyma reversa molding. - Contributing.
