==History and architectural features==
This district encompasses four contributing buildings and one contributing site that are located on the historic estate of Ross Common Manor. The manor house was built circa 1810, and is a {{frac|2|1|2}}-story, five-bay-wide, stone dwelling with a gable roof. The 1809 stone kitchen building was attached to the main house around 1890, and was built by [John Ross](/source/John_Ross_(representative)) (1770–1834), who served as a U.S. Congressman.

Also located on the property are a stone [ice house](/source/Ice_house_(building)) (1810), a {{frac|3|1|2}}-story frame [grist mill](/source/grist_mill), a former barn (1880) that was converted to a theater in the 1930s, and the Ross family cemetery with burials dating from 1814 to the 1850s.

During the mid-19th century, the manor house was used as an [inn](/source/inn) and [tavern](/source/tavern).<ref name=nrhpdoc>{{cite report|type=none|url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71998047 |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Pennsylvania SP Ross Common Manor|publisher=National Archives and Records Administration |author=John Gunsser and Susan M.
