Pioneering 1844 Brick Home With Early Water Supply

Logan correspondent Ruth Wilkinson profiles the Westenhaver home built in 1844 east of Logan on Route 33. The two story brick house sits on solid stone foundations with six inch walls, eight rooms with five fireplaces, and early use of running water and natural gas lighting. The Westenhavers sourced brick and stone locally, creating a durable structure whose antique furnishings include a history filled with a turning wheel, a circular stair entrance hall, and a salt-weller utility. The home remains well preserved, showcasing craftsmanship from its era and the family’s ingenuity.
