Dormers
Mahlon Janney's nephew and heir, Mahlon II (b.1773), is
credited with constructing this house sometime after 1803.
John Schooley and his son Milton lived here and operated
the mill until the latter's death in 1908. The wings to either
side of the house, a rear addition, the roof dormers, and
the Colonial Revival door surround are not original to the
house. The off-center door placement is rare in a 19th-century
five-bay dwelling. |
Old Acre
James Moore, Jr., probably constructed this house between
1815 and 1838, when he sold it to his nephew James Moore
Steer (1810-1874). Steer and his brother-in-law Reuben Schooley
operated a series of agricultural manufacturing shops behind
the house along Factory Street, giving that street its name.
Exterior brickwork indicates that the northern block of Old
Acre was built before the southern end, which was originally
a single story.

15634 Second Street
This house was built in 1989 and designed to harmonize with
its older surroundings. |
Parsonage (Magnolia) House
The Methodist Church erected this house in 1941 as a parsonage.
It served in that capacity until 1966, when declining membership
forced the closure of the Waterford Methodist Church. Subsequent
changes include a rear addition in 1974 and dormers in 1997. |
