Dormers 
Dormers

Mahlon Janney's nephew and heir, Mahlon II (b.1773), is credited with constructing this house sometime after 1803. John Schooley and his son Milton lived here and operated the mill until the latter's death in 1908. The wings to either side of the house, a rear addition, the roof dormers, and the Colonial Revival door surround are not original to the house. The off-center door placement is rare in a 19th-century five-bay dwelling.

James Moore, Jr., probably constructed this house between 1815 and 1838, when he sold it to his nephew James Moore Steer (1810-1874). Steer and his brother-in-law Reuben Schooley operated a series of agricultural manufacturing shops behind the house along Factory Street, giving that street its name. Exterior brickwork indicates that the northern block of Old Acre was built before the southern end, which was originally a single story.

The Methodist Church erected this house in 1941 as a parsonage. It served in that capacity until 1966, when declining membership forced the closure of the Waterford Methodist Church. Subsequent changes include a rear addition in 1974 and dormers in 1997.
