The plaque says, "This is the oldest stone house in New Hope. It was built in 1743 by Ichabod Wilkinson, an iron master from providence, Rhode island. The structure is an excellent example of colonial "kitchen parlor" style. Mary Wilkinson, Ichabod's daughter married Joshua Vansant and they lived in the house for many years. Vansant was a builder and early developer of the town. In the late 1800s, when the roof was being replaced, grapeshot was found imbedded in the wood. Grapeshot was allegedly fired by the British soldiers from across the Delaware River in December 1776."
