History and architectural features

[edit]

Built circa 1795, this historic structure is a 3+12-story building with a pedimented gable roof and a 2+12-story rear wing. The main section measures fifty feet by forty feet, with the rear wing measuring twenty-eight feet by twenty-four feet, four inches.

Built by Stroudsburg's founder Jacob Stroud for his son, John Stroud, it remained in the Stroud family until 1893, although it was leased for a time for use as a store and as a boarding house. It now houses the Monroe County Historical Association.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
