The most ornate of early glazed brick patterns decorate the west wall of this house, built in 1754 by John Dickinson.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.

Example

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
