History and architectural features
The Turn General Store is a two to two-and-one-half-story, frame building that was created in two sections. The older section dates to circa 1837 and is situated at the rear of the present building. Attached to the front is an addition that was built circa 1916. The Tinsmith's Shop was built circa 1837, and is a two-story, frame building that sits on a fieldstone foundation. It has a slate covered gable roof.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
During the 1990s, this property was sold to Guy Gentile and became "Deli Depot" which sold grocery, deli, and craft items. In 2012, Anthony and Vanessa Palma purchased and restored the building. It now operates as The Roost Deli and Market.
