Old Ruins to Explore in Adams County
John Wood MansionThis is one of the finest examples of Federal-style architecture in the region. Built in 1835 by master craftsmen that were brought to the area expressly for this purpose, the two-story house with its two front parlors and four corner rooms was a sight to behold. While it has gone through several renovations throughout its life, it is still very much the same house that stood nearly 200 years ago. The interior remains largely unchanged and retains much of its original character.
