This bedroom was built as part of the 1785 expansion. When two families lived in the house at the same time (for instance, Thomas Walter Ward’s family and that of his son Thomas Walter Ward Jr.), the older family typically lived in the expansion. General Ward used this bedroom until the last few years of his life. View more details.
Served at Second and Third Continental Congress.
The house has not always retained its proud yellow color. During war time, only battleship gray paint was available. The house was painted as part of its ordinary maintenance, and for a time it was forgotten that the house had once been yellow.
