The Dr. Jonathan Pitney House was built in 1799 in traditional colonial architecture. In 1848, the Doctor cut his house in half, moved half across the street and added a three story italianate design prevalent at that time. The 1799 potion of the Pitney Manor House is decorated in early 1800's style and antiques while the 1848 addition is handsomely decorated with Victorian antiques. The Doctor's Guest Quarters, immediately across the Commonyard from the Manor House, was built on the foot prints of the former Carriage House and consist of four suites.
