The ironmaster’s Mansion dominates the north hillside. The “L†shaped plan results from construction in two distinct sections in different time periods. Secondary sources state that the northern section dates before 1779, which corresponds with the time when the property had a grist mill. The section to the south, or front of the house, was built between 1779 and 1815. Both sections are two-and-one-half stories in height with intersecting gable roofs. They are constructed of brownstone and ironstone laid in a random coursing with dark brownstone quo1n1ng at the corners. The newer section has a higher roofline, a result of the higher ceilings inside.
