Built
as a yeoman's cottage and is said to be one of
the oldest structures in the county.
The small frame house contains a cellar, one room on the first
floor, and one room in the upper half-story. Modest as it may seem,
architectural historians now believe that this would have been the
home of a successful planter of about 1750.
The land was initially acquired by the English
immigrant Nicholas Rochester, it was
built by his son William.
