History
editThe two-story mansion was completed in 1855.[2] It was built for Dr Samuel Mansfield.[2]
The mansion was purchased by Colonel Bogardus Snowden and his wife Annie Overton, the granddaughter of Judge John Overton.[2] Their son, Robert Brinkley Snowden, became a real estate developer who lived at Ashlar Hall.
A bone fragment, possibly human, was found in June 2016 in the grate of a boarded-up fireplace. The fragment was sent to the morgue for further investigation. The bone is very old and may date to the Civil War when Annesdale was used as a hospital.[3][4]
