Building History
The main limestone structure was completed in 1802. The limestone and brick building, features a stone foundation and poured glass windows. A later, occupant, Miss Abbie Henkel, was a pianist and taught music lessons for many years.
In addition to being the
home of one of New Market's founding families, the building has had several
commercial uses such as a general store operated by Abe Neff & Samuel Funkhouser around 1835.
The building's last occupant was a regional bank that extended the foot print and added a vault.
