This is the first house in the area considered West Moorestown. It lies on the north side (odd numbers) of West Main Street and is a contributing structure to the Moorestown Historic District. This is a very stunning, large and regal home.

Located at 305 West Main Street in downtown Moorestown, this is one of 351 contributing buildings/structures to this historic district. I particularly loved the stark contrast of the white house against the dark, black shutters; it just looks very mid 19th century.
The Department of the Interior sent me the following narrative/information on this house:
"c.1855. 2½-story, 4-register Gothic Revival house, stucco over masonry. Steeply pitched central cross-gable. Central entrance with leaded glass transom and sidelights. 4/4 double hung windows, thin entablature lintels. paneled shutters at first floor, louvered above. Diamond-paned Gothic window under gable. Wood shingled roof. Chimney with double pots. Cast iron fence in front. - Contributing.”
