History and architectural features
Built by Thomas Leiper circa 1785, this historic estate was named Strath Haven after Leiper's birthplace in Strathaven, Scotland, and includes a three-story, yellow-stuccoed mansion house, a "Fireproof" vault, a communal outhouse, a barn, a carriage house, a smokehouse, a warehouse, a tenant's house, and a quarry.[2] Two local schools, Strath Haven High School and Strath Haven Middle School, are named for the estate.
The Friends of the Leiper House offers weekend guided tours of the house from April through December.
