Recent History
Under the auspices of the Reformed Church of Shepherdstown, later known as Christ Reformed Church, the property was used as a parsonage and, in subsequent years, for tenant dwelling. The property was owned by Christ Reformed Church until 1995 when it was placed on the market for sale by its trustees. A sympathetic, preservation-minded individual, and descendant of Conrad Shindler, Mary Tyler Moore, purchased the property to create a permanent home for a Civil War Center to be operated by Shepherd College.
