The house was occupied by John Lott in 1794, by Albert Terhune Lott, between 1860 and 1873, and sold and vacated by the Lott family about 1903. In an upper room were found the Terhune family papers. This house is no longer in existence. About 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection. (2) The same, from another angle. About 1923. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
