History

Established in 2012.

In 1790, John Imlay started construction of his retirement home, a 15 room mansion. He was born in New Sharon, and was a Philadelphia shipping merchant. The building is one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture on the East Coast. The original wallpaper, purchased in 1794, was removed, and is on exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In addition, one complete room is installed at Winterthur, the Dupont Estate in Wilmington, Delaware. The building became a rooming house in 1900, and was owned by Miss Emma Gordon. In 1936, Dr. Walter D. Farmer converted the house into his office and hospital, where he practiced until his death a few years ago. Parking is available behind the Mansion.
