The south block comprises a two-story stone south section (c. 1770) and a two-story stone section (c. 1845) that connects the south block to the main block.
Trach-Hunsicker House
The Trach-Hunsicker House is located on the Easton-Belmont Turnpike in Hamilton Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, just south of Hamilton Square. The 2 1⁄2-story house was built in 1790 in a vernacular Georgian style. Constructed of 18" thick fieldstone walls, it is rectangular with a symmetrical five-bay facade. The gabled roof has slate shingles. Brick chimneys are located at each end of the house. A central front door is set under an arched wooden frame with a fanlight over the door. In the 1800s, tiny brackets were installed over the earlier dentil trim and a 1 1⁄2-story addition was added to the west side. A front porch was added around 1910.
The Trach-Hunsicker House has historic importance due to its builder, Rudolph Trach (Drach or Drough). As a child, Trach emigrated from Germany to Bedminster, Bucks County, where he learned to be a potter. Upon moving to Monroe County, Trach constructed the house and established a pottery on the property. Some of his work was functional, but some was created in the ornate sgraffito style. One signed and dated sgraffito pie plate produced at the Trach-Hunsicker property is held by the Winterthur Museum, Delaware. Trach lived in the house until his death. The surname Hunsicker applies to the owners who renovated the structure and applied for listing.
In 1980, the property was approved for listing on the Pennsylvania Inventory of Historic Places and the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission indicated that the "property appears to meet the National Register criteria.". In 1983, a further letter from the Commission's Chief of Preservation Services re-iterated that "the resource appears to meet the National Register criteria and to have a nomination priority as established by the Historic Preservation Board." No record of a National Register nomination is available.
