The Coulsontown Cottages Historic District is a special area in Peach Bottom Township in York County, Pennsylvania. It's called a historic district because it contains important old buildings. These buildings help us learn about the past. This district includes four old stone cottages. They were built a long time ago, between 1845 and 1865.
What Are the Coulsontown Cottages?
The four cottages are made of stone. They are two stories tall. Each cottage has two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs. Their roofs are covered with slate, which is a type of rock. Each cottage also has chimneys at the ends of the building. These homes show us what houses looked like in the mid-1800s.
Why Are These Cottages Important?
The Coulsontown Cottages Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a special list kept by the United States government. It includes places that are important to the history of our country. When a place is on this list, it means it's recognized for its historical value. The district was added to this list on January 31, 1985. Being on the National Register helps protect these old buildings for future generations.
