John Brown House, Historic house in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
The John Brown House is a two-story structure from the 1850s with clapboard siding and timber-frame construction. The building contains several rooms that show how people of that era lived and worked.
The house was built in the mid-1800s as a residence and later recognized as a historically important site. It became linked with a major movement against slavery in America.
The house functioned as a gathering place for people working against slavery. Visitors today can see how such individuals lived and what beliefs they held in common.
