Hold up, buddy.
Johnson Hall was built in 1763 by the servants of William Johnson who at the time was the largest slaveholder in the north. It was made with a sawmill and a grist mill and had several tenant farmers working in the area.
It was made to look like it was made of stone but actually it was just painted to give that illusion; however houses on the other side were made of stone. It was believed that William Johnson was paranoid, since around this time was the end of the French and Indian War, so it was assumed it was his way of defending himself from an attack. The specific reason was unknown.
