History
But a short distance East [based on the Road Church] of this Stanton ground, stands the house built about 1710 by Edward Denison and his son John, whose first wife, Anna, was drowned in the well, which can now be seen by the roadside, southeast of the house as you are driving along the highway [now inside our stone wall]. This house is still in good order and bids fair to stand a hundred years longer [which it has], although now nearly two hundred years old.  It is a large double house, facing the south, the east side being broader than the west, which has only one window at the south, while on the right of the front door, the room is large and square with two windows at the south.  In this room, is the old fashioned corner cupboard [which is still there], which was enclosed by a circular bar, one half of which was movable and allowed the bar tender to pass back and forth as he served his customers [the bar is gone].  The entire upper story on the west side was once a dancing hall, with a swinging partition in the middle which could be fastened up at will, and the hooks are still in the ceiling, although the partition has been made stationary.
