Springhouse 1803

"This house is historically known as "Stone Field". The original house was built in 1760 and was then known as "Peter Mong's cabin". Another part of the house was added in 1810. Much like the Hager House, part of this house is built over a spring. Historic preservation is exceedingly important to safeguard the workmanship of skilled artisans and honor the history of our county." -Laura Lane-Unsworth

Stone Field is a recent Historic Preservation Overlay property. This overlay is applied through a rezoning process at no charge to the property owner. Once the overlay is applied, the structures involved are eligible for more flexibility in local ordinances such as the Building Code and Floodplain ordinances. The Historic District Commission does have permit review in these areas as well. Most importantly, for those restoring historic resources, these overlays are also eligible for tax credit programs!
