AMERICAN LEGION HOME

Built in 1848 by Isaac Lain, industrialist and civic leader. Next owner, 1904-1944, was Edward R. Estberg, banker and mayor. Home of American Legion since 1944. It is the County's finest example from the last century of the famous Greek Revival style of architecture. The well-known Historical American Buildings Survey in the Library of Congress attests its historical importance.
