99 percent of the Structures on Main Street contribute to the historic district status of Moorestown. of these scores of houses and businesses only a handful of them were built using the Victorian-style architecture.
The high steep roof makes this a very distinctive house. There is a business added to the right. Although this home seems small, it actually is quite long and goes back rather deeply.
Located at 129 East Main Street in 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:
