Beaumont House, at Foulkeways in North Wales, PA, Preserved

The Beaumont House was built in 1817, and was a part of a 68-acre farm. It is owned by Foulkeways, the retirement village, and has been preserved and repurposed as a guest house. The 500-ton stone house had been 150 feet closer to the Sumneytown Pike intersection, and was moved on April 1, 2006, to make way for the 202-widening project. (I recall that a public TV show wanted to film the move, but the Lancaster county house movers refused to allow filming.) I got my information from yesterday's The (Lansdale) Reporter online, in an article by Eric Devlin.
