Voorhees House - 2002

The Voorhees House (Prospect Street) was once a boarding house. The boarding houses in the village were the mainstay for the dozens upon dozens of guests who came during the summer months. The boarding house was preferred over the hotels by many who sought to capture some of the quietude of the farm, but without the chores associated with farm life.
