Thompson-Neely House

Before the Battle of Trenton, the Thompson-Neely House served as the headquarters of Brigadier-General Lord Stirling. Quartered with him were Captain William Washington, Lieutenant James Monroe, later President of the United States, and Captain James Moore of the New York Artillery, who died there on Christmas Day, 1776. The central portion of the house was built by John Pidcock in 1702 and has been preserved as a type of earliest Pennsylvania architecture and masonry.
