Toll House

The Toll House, formerly known as the Old Toll House, is a house that was originally a toll house on the Lancaster to Richmond Turnpike, established by an act in 1750. It is likely from the late 18th century. The building is constructed of slobbered squared sandstone and features a stone slate roof. The central part of the facade consists of two storeys and two bays beneath a gable with projecting purlins. The ground-floor windows have rendered surrounds with round heads and projecting stone sills. On the first floor, there are casement windows with plain stone surrounds. Each return wall has a ground-floor window with a round head. Flanking the central projecting block are single-storey bays with similar windows, covered by a lean-to that extends the line of the main roof. The right-hand projection includes a door with a plain stone surround located to the left of the window. There are chimneys on each side of the central block.
