    The Flory House was constructed circa 1880. Located across from Lock 49 on the towpath side, the house sits on a hill overlooking the canal. It was a two-story building with wood-siding, a metal gable roof and an exposed stone basement. Its overall dimensions were 24 feet by 30 feet. The house had a wood porch on the front and side elevations. The side porch was uncovered, but there was a roof over the front porch, shich was also elevated to accommodate the slope the house was built into. The date “August 10, 1883” is engraved in stone on the north side of the house, but the significance of this date has not been determined (Mastrangelo:9).
    Current Condition
    The house is structurally sound but is unoccupied and mothballed. However, there is evidence that animals have been able to access the building and may be causing damage to the interior. The wood siding is covered with deteriorating simulated-brick asphalt siding paper. The porch was removed sometime between 1979 and the late 1990s.
