History
The two-story mansion was completed in 1855.[2] It was built for Dr Samuel Mansfield.[2]
The mansion was later purchased by Colonel Bogardus Snowden and his wife, Annie Overton, who was the granddaughter of Judge John Overton.[2] Their son, Robert Brinkley Snowden, became a real estate developer who lived at Ashlar Hall.
In June 2016, a bone fragment, possibly human, was discovered in the grate of a boarded-up fireplace. The fragment was sent to a morgue for further investigation. The bone is very old and may date back to the Civil War when Annesdale served as a hospital.[3][4]
