Regarding the property history, seller says, " During the Battle of Gettysburg, the house was occupied by Confederate soldiers and used as staging ground for Confederate assaults on Little Round Top. It also served as a position for Confederate sharpshooters. The well at the rear of the property supplied water for the Confederate forces. The house became more directly engaged in the fight on the third day, after Pickett's charge, when the North commenced a counterattack. Sometime during that counterattack, the house was hit by shells and burned. During the extensive renovations, the owners found the charred beams above the living room entrances."
