| Description: | |||||
| Walworth Road on NE Corner of Quaker Rd., just north of the Erie Canal. This property is of particular importance because it dates back to the time of John Swift, founder of the village of Palmyra. While his original home was closer to the village, he had a house on this property. In the 1870s James Kent, who now owned the property, tore down the old frame house and built the present brick house on the same site. | |||||
