Description
The Manse at 28 Main Street in New Abbey was built in 1802 and is designed by architect Frederick Maxwell and mason William Crockat. This two-storey building with an attic features three bays and is an unusually deep house. It has three windows on the south gable and a low north wing. The structure is made of rubble with ashlar margins, all painted. A central gabled porch, added in the late 19th century, is constructed of white granite rubble with red ashlar dressings, and the door is located in the re-entrant angle. The windows are 12-pane sashes, and there is an eaves and lintel band. The roof has two piended, canted dormers, straight skews, and margined end stacks, and it is covered with graded slates. The property is set behind a low rubble-built wall.
