This family somehow figures into the Stokes and Lippincott genealogy, two names which figure prominently into local Moorestown history. The house is kind of different from the other ones in the area which are contributing structures. I liked the pushed back door under the flat roof. I especially liked the columns and the second story register. To me, this seemed like a very intricately made home which still needs some TLC.

Located at 324 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, 2-register vernacular frame dwelling resided with asbestos shingles. Colonial wraparound porch, side entrance. 6/1 double hung windows, box cornice. - Contributing.
