HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE: House was built c. 1740 by Amon Tabor for John Moore, original owner. New Wing was added in 1840 as well .as dog house dormers and second floor eyebrow windows (to maintain roofline of original house). When house was moved to present location in 1943, original chimneys were removed and replaced. The following year the kitchen was enlarged and electricity and plumbing were installed. Paneled gunstock corner post (near front door) is probably net authentic. Brawner thinks present enlarged kitchen, though cleverly restored (with mortise and tenon), is probably not authentic: copper well (I of 5 in the U.S.) is old, but all the brickwork in-the , 3—flue chimney and bake,-oven is probably modern construction with old bricks. Though moved from north to south side of Ae. 25, orientation remains the same; i.e. , main entrance still faces south but away from the Pain Road, Rte. 25. 'I. SOURCES: May Chapman, previous owner.
