3. John A. Carroll House, CSA Hospital
This house, built in 1816 by Richard Kendall Weisiger and owned by John A. Carroll during the Civil War, was used as a Confederate Hospital in the town of Manchester. Those soldiers who succumbed while in this hospital and its surrounds are the men who are interred in the mass grave commemorated by the marker (which is on the lot immediately behind the house; the marker fronts Wise Street, the original backyard of this home, while the house fronts Bainbridge Street and no longer includes the back lot). This house is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Carroll-Weisiger House.
