William Peters House

The original house was built in Aston Township, Pennsylvania between 1749 and 1750. A brick Georgian-style dwelling, it was modified during the nineteenth century with the addition of a front porch, at which time the second story's front elevation was closed off, and a balcony door was replaced with a window. In addition, a rear porch was added while front and rear exterior doors and windows, a bake oven and a summer kitchen were all removed. The structure was then moved to its present site in 1965. A wing with kitchen was then added to the back of the structure, and a bookcase was built into the home's library. A new drainage system was also added to the exterior to protect the home's foundation, and the doorway between the closets inside of the library and parlor were removed to create a single, large closet.^[2]
