Willis House, Georgian brick house in Manchester Township, Pennsylvania.
The Willis House measures 30 feet long by 31 feet wide, featuring a steeply pitched gable roof and a partially exposed basement level.
William Willis received 480 acres from Thomas and Richard Penn Sr. in 1752, constructing this residence in 1762 following English Georgian architectural principles.
Samuel Willis, known locally as Friend Willis, operated this residence as a station on the Underground Railroad, assisting individuals seeking freedom.
The historic residence occupies 2.6 acres at 135 Willis Run Road, north of York, and maintains its original Georgian center hall floor plan.
The structure combines an English Georgian design with a banked construction method, incorporating the natural terrain into its architectural layout.
