Mt. Vernon, a handsome Federal plantation house set in the rolling landscape of the Scotch-Irish township was built in 1822. The house was well detailed and handsomely distinguished by it's double chimney. It is an unusually well preserved two story with attic frame dwelling embellished with well executed Federal wood work. Of the many early nineteenth century houses in the county, Mt Vernon enjoys the highest degree of integrity and best state of preservation. The owner is having to assist us in repairing and replacing several structural members in the first floor that have failed. In addition to replacing joist and sills we are also raisin gand leveling areas that have settled over the past 190 years.
