This is a pretty house with gray siding, a side porch on the left, and a small porch and entrance on the left. The back of the house runs pretty deep. It appears to be 2 1/2 story home, typical of the other contributing structures in the area.
Located at 285 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.1785 with c.1920 Colonial Revival alterations and additions. 2 1/2-story cross-gabled house, clapboarded. Colonial Revival portico comprised of square Tuscan columns and shake-shingled pediment. 4-light transomed entrance with paneled door. 6/6 double hung sash at first and second floors, paired 6/1 double hung in front gable. Colonial Revival sun porch addition to west side, 1-story addition to east side. - Contributing.”
