About this property

The Strickland-Roberts Homestead, also known as the Bryncoed Farm, is an historic home in West Vincent Township, Pennsylvania, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The original section of this historic structure dates to circa 1800, and is a two-story, five-bay by one-bay, fieldstone structure. It has a gable roof, a small shed-roofed porch, and a terrace. A 2+1⁄2-story, four-bay, random fieldstone addition was designed by R. Brognard Okie and built in 1929. Also located on the property is a contributing bank barn that dates to 1873. The house was purchased by future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts in 1927; he died here in 1955.
