Description
As constructed, the Maurice Stephens House was a 2 ½- story, five- bay, center- entry stone house that faced south across the Grand Parade. According to the 1820 census, Maurice who never married, lived in the house at that time with five other individuals including a boy between the age of 10- 16, a young man between the age of 16- 26, a girl between the age 10- 16, a woman between the age 26- 45, and an older woman over the age of 45. The census also indicates that Maurice was the head of the household, was over the age of 45, and was involved in agriculture at that time. Tax records show no significant changes in the valuation of his property or in the amount of land that he owned from the time of the construction of his house until he sold the property in 1825. The only other information that was uncovered about Esquire Stephens during this time period is found in Henry Woodman’s History of Valley Forge, where he states that for some years before his death in the fall of 1827 .
