Captain William Vicary House
Captain William Vicary House, Stone mansion in Freedom, United States.
The three-story Captain William Vicary House stands at 1235 3rd Avenue, constructed with massive dressed stone blocks quarried from the property edges.
Built between 1826 and 1833, the residence belonged to Captain William Vicary, who received 1000 acres of land after capturing British ships in 1812.
The building represents early 19th-century Western Pennsylvania architecture with its substantial stonework created by local craftsmen earning 25 cents per day.
The Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation maintains this 5-acre property and conducts educational tours of the historical residence.
Workers used horse-drawn sledges and earthen ramps to transport and position the large stone blocks during the seven-year construction period.
