History and architectural features

edit

Built circa 1796 as a two-story, five-bay, brick dwelling that sits on a stone foundation, this historic structure has a gable roof. Its builder, the Rev. John Corbly (1733–1803), was a founder of the local Baptist church and was also associated with the Whiskey Rebellion. In 1782, his family was killed during the Corbly Family massacre.[3] The farm name of 'Slave Gallant' derived from Slieve Gallion in Ireland, which was nearby where John Corbley was born and raised before emigrating to Pennsylvania.[4]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
