The Long House is a contributing resource within Hope Historic District. The building includes four additions to the circa 1777 stone house. These additions show the evolution of construction methods between 1777 and 1870. The style of the Long House and its continued relationship to the community makes this resource an important element of the historic district. The earliest two sections of the house date to a period of Moravian settlement in Hope, and may be one of the only surviving frame structures from this period.

The previous Trust grant helped fund historical research and preservation recommendations.  The current grant will help fund the stabilization of the building including its stone foundations and deteriorated sills and post. Additionally, the grant will help fund the exterior restoration to an 1870 appearance, roof stabilization, new roofing, window repair/replacement, and interior rehabilitation. The building will house the local preservation organization offices and library, as well as local retail establishments.
