312 S. Main Street - Built in 1857, this two-story Greek Revival style home has bracketed cornices and is built of common bond brick. The main block and rear ell are sheltered under the gabled roof. Rooms have been added to the rear and south side, but the main block retains its Greek Revival mantels, surrounds and flat paneled wainscot.
The house was built by John Fredrick Kerner as a wedding gift for his son, Nathaniel , and his bride, Martha Stockton. Nathaniel and his brother ran the leather tanyard nearby and, after his death in 1880, his son, Carl, and wife, Berenice, lived here until their deaths. In 1970, it was purchased and renovated by John Wolfe III, 6th generation of Joseph Kerner, and later by his son, Cary Korner Wolfe. Only four families have lived in the house--all Korner/Kerners.
