Sloan–Parker House
Sloan–Parker House, Historic stone residence in Junction, United States.
Description
The Sloan-Parker House is a stone building constructed around 1790 that comprises multiple sections built at different times. The original stone foundation features thick walls at the lower levels that gradually decrease in thickness toward the upper floors, while a wooden frame addition and a barn from the early 1800s extend the property.
History
The house was built around 1790 for Richard Sloan, a former indentured servant who arrived after the American Revolutionary War. Later additions to the structure in subsequent decades reflect the household's changing needs and growing prosperity.
Culture
The Sloan family operated a weaving business that produced coverlets with distinctive block patterns, gaining recognition across the South Branch Valley. Visitors can observe how textile craftsmanship became a central part of the household's identity.
Practical
The property sits in a rural setting and comprises multiple building sections spread across the grounds. Visitors should expect uneven terrain and allow time to explore the different structures and their construction details.
Did you know?
The house served as a rest stop for travelers using the Parker family's stagecoach line along a major regional turnpike. This service made it an important waypoint along one of the area's key travel routes.
