The oldest part of the house was likely built by Thomas Terrill Sr. between 1766 and 1774. Several additions were later made to the house, including a two and one-half story section built c. 1795. After Terrill's death, his widow Tryphena married William Ford.[3] In 1830, the house was owned by Thomas Terrill Jr., who was the first Clerk of Warren Township. In 1857, the house was owned by John Kirch and it remained in the Kirch Family until 1978.[4] In 1980, it was purchased by the township.[3]
