Front Entrance
The Rosencrantz family, like other upper-middle class families, worked hard but could sometimes take time to sit on the front porch and visit with neighbors. Some of the stonework visible in this photograph (circa 1890) was original to the 18th century house purchased by Dr. Elijah Rosencrantz in 1807 and enlarged in 1847 by his son Elijah, Jr.
Marker can be reached from North Franklin Turnpike (County Route 507), on the right when traveling south.
