100 Old Lake Street

Known to many as the Shelley Farmhouse, this former meeting place of early colonists was built in approximately 1730, predating the Revolutionary War. Built by the Revolutionary War Captain William Shelley and his brothers, it still stands and includes hitching rings in the front stone wall. “The house is constructed with wooden pegs, handmade nails, and joined by mortise and tennon.” [1] Shelley fought in the Battle of White Plains. [2] Despite some modern updates, it still holds its original charm. More photos of the home can be seen on Lohud.com.

Please note, this is a private residence.
