Two wings were added c.1850 and c.1900. When house was moved in 1975, the newer east wing
(e.1900 and in bad repair) was destroyed and the older west wing (e.1850) was restored.
Since the house is now on south side of lite. 25, former west wing becomes current east wing.

martise and tenon; 2. Two sections have different lathes; 3. Older aection has wider
nailing boards of random width, with spaces between boards varying from 1 to 5 inches;
roof boards of newer section are narrower, spaced closer together and of standard width;
Window trim and door paneling is different in each section.
SIGNIFICANCE
111. DATL OF INITi�L CONSTRUCTION: Possibly early as 1666; main section certainly by 1816.
ARCHITE(f: Unknown.
BUILDER: Unknown.
20. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE:
Original house built 1666 by Thomas Moore Sr. (d. 1691 ). According to
Griffin's Journal (p. 26), original house "stood about 150 years when it was taken
down (ed. note: all of it or half of it?) and a new one built on its site" c. 1816
by Orange Petty Sr. (1796-1881 ). According to one account, Orange Petty's second
wife refused to live in the west wing, originally occupied by the first wife, and
insisted on building a new, east wing.
Three fireplaces downstairs have mantels and cupboards. Window sashes are
