This is the absolute last contributing house on the North side of West Main Street in West Moorestown. The homeowners have done their very best to make sure the house looks nothing close to historic & out of line with the other homes.

Thanks to wildly overgrown landscaping and shrubs, it was nearly impossible to get a decent shot of this contributing structure. I was hard pressed to figure out exactly what this house contributes, but, nevertheless, there it is in the official list of structures.

Located in downtown West 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. 2½-story, 4-register vernacular frame house, reshingled. Porch-fronted, modern side door. First floor replacement 1/1 double hung sash, second floor 6/6 double hung. Standing seam metal roof. Interior end chimneys with chimney pots. - Contributing.
