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, of which style this house is built.
Located at 202 West 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:
