History and architectural features

Built in 1756 by Johannes Peter Troxell (1719-1799), the historic structure is a 2+1⁄2-story, fieldstone dwelling with a high-pitched gable roof. Designed in the Pennsylvania-German style, it measures 48 feet (14.6 m) long and 35 feet (10.6 m) wide. Also located on the property are a contributing stone spring house and late-nineteenth century barn. The house and property were given to the Lehigh County Historical Society in 1942, and are now open as a historic house museum.
