And another one gone. Another one bites the dust. The Stokes House, a Federal-style stone farmhouse that dated back to the 1800s was demolished on January 5th, to make room for a 12-home twin house development. "Efforts to save the structure were hindered, The Northeast Times' William Kenny writes, due to its long-time owners, the Stokes family, never trying to get it historically designated."
