The first thing I noticed about this house was the huge second floor gable (with steep angles!) and then the myriad windows in this rectangular-shaped home. This house could probably allow a dozen people to easily live here, comfortably. For some reason, a second front door was found necessary to be built. Perhaps there was a need for gender separated entrances. I wold definitely love to live here, but of course, it is probably haunted and built on an Indian graveyard so I would probably stay away.
Located at 3 East Second 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.1861. 2 1/2-story, 5-register Gothic Revival clapboarded house. Wood door surround with transom and sidelights. Addition with transomed entrance. 4/4 double hung windows and paneled shutters first floor, louvered shutters second, paired arched 1/1 double hung windows in gable. Modillioned molded box cornice and slate shingle roof. Side addition with 1-story porch on Tuscan columns. - Contributing.”
