John Abbott House, Historic house in Abbottstown, Pennsylvania.
The John Abbott House features a combination of wood, stone, and brick construction with a two-story structure spanning 28 feet by 67 feet.
The original log dwelling dates back to 1740, with subsequent extensions added between 1830 and 1850, incorporating a stone kitchen and brick addition.
During its early years from 1750 to 1763, the building served the community as a tavern, reflecting the social gathering practices of colonial Pennsylvania.
The property underwent complete restoration work in 1981, led by Yvonne Nace and a team of skilled professionals including architect Thomas Spiers.
The structure exhibits three distinct building materials and techniques, combining an original log core with stone and brick additions over different periods.
