Built circa 1740, this historic structure is a 1+1⁄2-story, log dwelling that measures thirty-six feet, six inches by twenty-two feet. It has corner posts, to which the logs are attached with mortise and tenon joints. Featuring a gable roof with dormers, it was originally erected on a stone foundation. The log structure was covered with asbestos shingles over novelty siding. A one-story, rear addition was built during the 1880s and a glass entryway was added during the 1920s. Its builder, Rev. John Casper Stoever (1707–1779), was a prominent figure in the development of the Lutheran church.[2]
The house is no longer located at 200 West Main Street, and appears to have been moved about thirty feet south and turned ninety degrees.[3]
