The Corson-Hand House |
|
This house is typical of the small
dwellings built in south Jersey
throughout the 1800's; taller than its
wide, with only one or two rooms on each
of the two floors. A tiny "winder"
staircase next to the fireplace connects
the first and second stories. According
to the US Census, Hand, a cobbler, lived
in the house until the early 1840s, when
he sold it because his family was
growing . He and his wife, Rachel,
eventually had seven children. Pick up
