35 South Main St.

This 1832 house is believed to have been built by Phillip Pry who hired John Weaver to build a stone hall on this site. It was used as a town hall from about 1900 to1928. Later the large stone dwelling was used as a saddle shop and residence. It is said to have been used as a hospital during the Battle of Antietam. Local historian, Arita VanRenssalaer, said when President Abraham Lincoln was killed in 1865, a large banner was stretched from the house to the other side of the street. It had a large eagle design with a piece of black crepe in its beak.
