Many thanks to the Archives Team!
The house was built in 1832 by Lewis Slate Coryell, born in 1788 in Hunterdon County, N.J.
Once part of the large Paxson estate, the creation of this property can be traced back to 1891.
This house, located on the south side of West Ferry Street in what once called Coryell's Ferry, now New Hope, has witnessed 225 years of history.
The Paxson Estate was sold to developers in the 1890s, leading to the development of North Main Street.
Reading that the historic Wedgwood Inn was up for sale, the New Hope Historical Society's Archives Team felt it was the perfect time to visit the inn and explore its history.
Anyone who has ever driven North on South Sugan Road towards the Wawa will recognize the next home in our "Beyond the Door" series.
A notable structure in New Hope with a most interesting history is located at 105 S. Main Street, now housing Havana restaurant, bar, and concert venue.
