Rowland House, Stone residence in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania
The three-and-a-half-story stone building includes a steep gable roof, stuccoed exterior walls, and a single-story wooden addition at ground level.
The structure, constructed in 1774, underwent expansions between 1810 and 1820, later becoming the Thomas Rowland & Sons Shovel Works manufacturing facility.
The property represents the intersection of residential architecture and industrial development in Pennsylvania through its dual function as a home and shovel manufacturing site.
The National Register of Historic Places registration provides protection for this structure, ensuring its preservation for future generations to study and appreciate.
The building housed the Rowland Mill, established in 1795, which produced agricultural tools that supported regional farming and industrial growth in early America.
