This 68 acre farm in Doylestown Township was purchased by Ed and Jane Rorer for $12,920. on 24 May 1871. This would be the last house in which the couple resided.
This map shows the location of the farm in 1876. It was located between East Street and Swamp Road. Three years earlier, Ed and Jane had sold 25 acres of the original 68 to William Stuckert for $200/acre. In 1877, they sold four acres to Ed's brother, William, for about $180/acre. In 1878, they sold 8 acres to Wallace Dungan for $1600.
The property contained a house, a small springhouse (pictured) and a barn.
The house was built around 1803. It appears to have undergone various changes with a General Grant type roof and plastered exterior per Edwin Harrington's report of 03 Apr 1999.
As of 1999, the remaining property was now located in Doylestown Borough on Linden Street, just east of Linden Elementary School, a few acres surrounded by suburbia. In his research report, Edwin Harrington noted that one acre of this land sold for $120,000 in 1983. The Edwin Harrington Report is in the files of the compiler.
When this photograph was taken in 1999, the barn was in ruins with the roof collapsed and slate shingles shattered.
