Rock Hall

Rock Hall is a residential building in Lawrence constructed using methods and design elements from the colonial period. The structure preserves its original form and demonstrates how homes of that time were built.

The house was built in 1767 during the period before American independence. It documents the early development of New York as a settled region during this era.
