The William and Caroline Schall House is a stone dwelling at 100 Main St. in Green Line, Montgomery County, built in 1835 in the Federal style, with Colonial Revival features added later. It was listed in the National Register in 2007.
Why it's listed
It was listed under criterion C, with local-level significance in architecture. The nomination gives its period of significance as 1835, the year the stone house was built for the Schalls.
Physical character
The two-and-one-half-story, ell-shaped house has a center-hall plan and stands on a fieldstone foundation with stone walls under a gabled asphalt-shingle roof that includes a crossed side gable and gambrel section. An open two-story porch, a Colonial Revival portico added around 1925, and reportedly a Colonial Revival door hood are on the front of the house; the original north and east porches were removed in the 1920s. A stone wash house built in 1835 is the property's other contributing building.
Historical context
William Schall bought the property in 1835 and used it as his residence and business center until 1866. The nomination associates the house with Green Lane Forge.
