History
This 1800 home was once part of Benjamin West's property --an original
Penn land grant. Two hundred year old trees, formal boxwood and
flagstone steps beckon guests into the white washed fieldstone and
brick manor home restored by the current owner, Carol Fireng.
The Cheshire House was built by the Page Family. In 1895 Sam Crozer
purchased the mansion for his daughter as a wedding gift. The current
owner, Carol Fireng, purchased the mansion in 1983 from the Campbell
Family. She has spent the past 20 years restoring the mansion to
resemble its early appearance.
The mansion has its original moldings, trim work and oak hardwood floors. The woodwork in the mansion includes intricate details. Its three-tiered staircase has a "false" rail. The carpenter molded an arm rail inlaid into the wall to mimic the freestanding one opposite.
About ten years ago, an atrium was added to the house. The atrium is
enclosed in glass and provides a stunning view of the gardens.
