History and description

The house was probably built c. 1801 by Andrew Snable. The property is along the Flat Brook, a tributary of the Delaware River. The land was once owned by Colonel John Rosenkrans, a prominent local militia leader during the American Revolution. Andrew Snable bought the land for the house from Rosenkrans' son Levi in 1801.[3]

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story stone cabin measuring 36 feet by 20 feet. It is notable for being one of the best-preserved stone cottages in the area, which preceded the larger framed farmhouses that were built from the mid-1800s on.[3]
