Lafayette's Quarters

This historic structure was built in three sections, with the oldest dating to 1763. The center structure dates to roughly between 1837 and 1839. The western section was added between 1882 and 1900. The oldest section is a 2+1⁄2-story, two-bay by three-bay, stuccoed, stone structure with a gambrel roof. The center section was made from stuccoed stone, and is three bays long by two bays wide. The western section is a frame structure, and was renovated in 1948. During the American Revolution, this house served as the headquarters for Major General Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette in late-1777 and early-1778, during the encampment at Valley Forge.^[2]
