This is an absolutely stunning home. The colors are vibrant and the architecture is breath-taking. This Victorian home could house a family of 12, easily, and no doubt, it is a contributing structure for the Moorestown Historic District.

Located at 279-281 West Main Street in downtown Moorestown, this is one of 351 contributing buildings/structures to this historic district. At one time it was a double home but that non longer appears to be the case.

The Department of the Interior sent me the following narrative/information on this house:
"c.1870. 2½-story, 4-register Victorian double House, clapboarded. Porch-fronted with chamfered posts, slat work balustrade, and ornate gingerbread. Transomed entrance, 2/2 double hung sash, bracketed cornice, two pedimented dormers with incised detailing, pilastered surrounds, and brackets. - Contributing.
