This is a most interesting and equally complicated contributing structure to the Historic District. The home has been divided into countless apartments. The back garages have also been converted into apartments. Still, it looks and feels historic.

This is one of many contributing homes to the Moorestown Historic District which line Chester Avenue. Most of these homes are extremely huge and heavily landscaped compared to their Main Street counterparts, less than a half mile away.
Located at 315 Chester Avenue a few hundred feet or so from 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.1840. 2 ½ story, 4-register Greek Revival frame dwelling, stone foundation, frame construction resided with aluminum. Porch-fronted transomed entrance. Flat surround with thin-lipped lintel, same detail on windows; 2/2 double hung first floor, 6/6 double hung above. Box cornice, pedimented dormers with pilastered surrounds. Asphalt gabled roof. - Contributing.”
