The farmhouse, built c. 1750 by Quaker Isaac Kay, received two 19^th century additions by the abolitionist Evans family, which resulted in the Federal style appearance of the main block of the house.  John Croft farmed the property before the township purchased it in 1985. Today, the farmhouse, historic outbuildings (c. 1820-40) and 45 acres of recreational space are remnants of the agricultural heritage of the now highly developed township.

The Trust grant will help fund repairs to the house exterior and restoration work to the outbuildings -- an octagonal icehouse, smoke house and spring house.  The work was recommended in a preservation plan that was prepared with grant assistance from the Historic Trust.
