Merestone

Merestone is a stone building situated directly on the border between Pennsylvania and Delaware. The structure displays typical 19th century construction methods with materials and techniques common to the region during that period.

The building was constructed during the 19th century and later added to the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition honors its value as part of American architectural heritage and its importance to the border region.

This building demonstrates the interconnected nature of Pennsylvania and Delaware communities through its position on the state boundary line.

The site is reachable by country roads that connect both states and offer good access. Visitors should note that the border location makes orientation easier with local maps or GPS navigation.

The building appears separately in the National Register for both states, reflecting its exceptional border location. This dual recognition is uncommon and highlights the unusual nature of a structure spanning the state line.
