The Robert Pyle House is a stone and brick farmhouse built c. 1820 with several later additions. The land was originally part of a 200 acre land grant to George Lea from William Penn in 1702. After various land owners, Robert Pyle received 18 acres of land and a stone house from his father Daniel Pyle’s will in 1823. There is a date stone on the oldest section of the house that reads” 1820.” Robert Pyle built a brick addition onto the home in 1934.
Robert Sharpley purchased the house in 1845. In 1850, Sharpley farmed hay, buckwheat, corn, wheat, potatoes, and fruit on 25 acres. The farm was valued at $1,000 at this time. The property stayed within the Sharpley family well into the 20th century.
This house is a private residence and not open to the public.
