Built between 1908 and 1912, this historic structure is an eclectic Bungalow/American Craftsman-style building. It is essentially "L"-shaped with two wings extending from a circular "Kiva." The foundation and first story are constructed of local, well-cut stone. The second story is stucco on frame. The house features a stone tower with observation deck, and also has numerous cement panels containing inscriptions and embedded Native American artifacts. Also located on the property are a contributing summer kitchen and picnic shed. This structure was built by Judge John Edward Vandersloot, a prominent attorney from York, Pennsylvania, as a memorial and museum to Native American culture. Originally created as a private museum in 1939, it subsequently became a museum that is open to the public. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. References
