1. Update on Thomas Sprott House
My wife and I took possession of this house in Nov 2011 (same month as the photos were submitted to HMDB), after several years of it being vacant and exposed to vandals. We moved in the following summer, and are making slow progress on preserving the old house. We have since learned the property was a documented stop on the Underground Railroad. Also, one of the former owners was the composer J.A. Wallace, who was friends of "March King" John Philip Sousa. Mr. Sousa frequently visited the house, and composed some of his marches here (the piano he used is now in a local museum run by the Little Beaver Historical Society).
