Shippen House, Historical residence in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, United States
The Shippen House features limestone construction with a two-story structure, including classical architectural elements and multiple building phases spanning different periods.
Edward Shippen III constructed the original section of the house around 1750, measuring 28 feet wide and 32 feet deep, with additional expansions in 1785 and 1935.
The residence gained recognition through Anne Shippen's personal accounts and William Shippen's medical lectures, contributing to Pennsylvania's educational development in the 18th century.
The National Register of Historic Places maintains documentation about Shippen House, including architectural details and historical information accessible through state preservation offices.
The limestone building incorporates three distinct construction phases, featuring a 1935 classical porch addition that marks the final major modification to the structure.
