The Celtic cross originally sat atop the church. Recently it was replaced and placed in back of this site. There are benches to sit and a paved walkway and central area as well. It is quite beautiful to see this freestanding churchyard cross.
Located in the parish section of Our Lady of Good Counsel church ,in downtown Moorestown, this is one of 351 contributing buildings/structures to this historic district. The house marks the beginning of the parish boundary.
The Department of the Interior sent me the following narrative/information on this house:

Off-center glazed and paneled door with sidelights and 1/1 double hung window with wood sill and thin-lipped lintel. Second story tripartite bay, 1/1 double hung, thin-lipped lintel.
