Stratton Hall: A House With A Name

A young suburban couple fall in love with an old house in rural southern New Jersey. Should they buy it? Do they have the skills, stamina and resources needed to renovate, restore and care for a local landmark? And what is the history behind Stratton Hall? Stratton Hall: A House with a Name provides readers with a hands-on view of the work involved in restoring a 190-year-old house, introduces readers to the men and women, free and enslaved, who built the house and lived within its walls, and shares the author’s passion for preserving the house, farms and wetlands threatened by development and government projects. The book is a memoir about taking chances and making choices, about taking up causes and speaking out to preserve what you love, about self-discovery and discovering the meaning of home. It’s a story about loving a house.
