George Wilson Homestead

The original owner of this home, George Wilson, was a pioneer Quaker settler in the Halfmoon Valley. Built in 1810, Wilson's home is a two-and-one-half-story, five-bay, limestone and sandstone dwelling with a medium pitch gable roof. The house measures forty feet by twenty-five feet, and was designed in the Georgian style. A one-and-one-half-story, sixteen square foot addition was built circa 1870. Also located on the property are a number of contributing outbuildings, including a barn, which was erected circa 1820, a carriage shed, a storage garage that was built sometime during the 1930s, a saltbox shed, a gable shed, two corn cribs, and an ice house.^[2]
