Hibernia House

Built in four phases between the late eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, the original house was owned by Isaac Van Leer and the prominent Van Leer family.^[2]

The original section was a two-story, stone dwelling, which measured eighteen feet by twenty-four feet. A one-and-one-half-story, stone kitchen was then added in 1798.

In 1821, the mansion house was built, turning the home's older sections into the structure's west wing. A two-and-one-half-story, four-bay, stone structure, the mansion house measures forty-five feet by forty-three feet. The house was modified between 1895 and 1910 to add a thirty-three-foot-wide, pedimented pavilion and ballroom to the west wing.^[3]
