The John Myers House is a c. 1833 stone farmhouse along Smithbridge and Temple Roads.
The John Myers House sits on John Hazelgrove’s 500-acre land grant. Henry Pierce purchased 250 acres from this tract in 1707 and then passed 62 acres to his grandson William Pierce and Henry Myers. John Myers, the son of Henry Myers, built this house in 1833. A date stone on the house reads “J. & M. Myers, 1833.”
The building was used as a store for some time through the 1840s. Tax records indicate John Myers was a storekeeper by trade, but his family operated a sawmill along Concord Creek and multiple other farms. In 1850, John Myers cultivated 81 of his 96 acres, and his farm was valued at $5,670.
The north side of the house was added c. 1920 under Mary C. Hannum’s ownership.
In 1990, the owners of the John Myers House won the Delaware County Heritage Commission’s Award for Historic Preservation.
This property is a private residence and not open to the public.
