Fallsington Historic District

Fallsington is a village in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, whose core is Meeting House Square, laid out around a Friends Meeting House. Its buildings date from a log cabin of about 1685, which shows early Swedish construction, to stone houses of the eighteenth century and Victorian additions of the 1880s. The Gambrel Roof House, a large stone structure built in 1728 as the second Meeting House, later served as a girls' boarding school and then as five apartments. The Stagecoach Tavern, which took its present form before 1798, was restored in the 1960s. Burges-Lippincott House, built around 1767, has a noted doorway with a fanlight and carved pilasters. The village is regarded as a rare survival of an eighteenth- and nineteenth-century community on its original sites, largely untouched despite nearby suburban growth.
