This house is located at 202 West Main Street. I found some information out about this house from the United States Department of the Interior. The National Park Service (under the USDI) sent me a HUGE packet of information on Moorestown which included
all information on contributing structures. Finally, a reliable source! By the way, there are 355 contributing and 66 non-contributing structures within the Moorestown Historic District. 9 of these sites stand alone on the NRHP.
