Phillip Moore, Jr. Stone House (2) "Cradle of Methodism"

I found the 213-year-old house on the west side of busy Route 239 in West Portsmouth, Ohio. Thanks to a_kindredspirit, a Flickr friend, I'm adding a link to a detailed web site:

A quote from the site that I found of special interest:

"The Philip Moore, Jr. Stone House is also known as "The Cradle of Methodism." Many frontier "circuit riders," (itinerant Methodist ministers) would meet in this house to formulate plans for the future. This house has been completely restored and preserved."
