Kemmerer House

Kemmerer House, also known as the Mr. & Mrs. Russell L. Pellett Residence and Irongate, is a historic home located at Emmaus, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. It was built between 1840 and 1850, and is a two-story, masonry dwelling with Georgian style influences. It has a five bay wide front facade. Also on the property is a Pennsylvania-German forbay barn.
According to the nomination form which was completed during the 1970s and submitted to the U.S. Department of the Interior by Madeline L. Cohen, Office of Historic Preservation, John K. Heyl, and Mr. and Mrs. Russell Pellett, and which ultimately led to the home's placement on the National Register of Historic Places, "it is evident from the height of the ceilings, the type of fireplace and the profiles of the millwork that the date of [this home's] construction antedates the period of the Civil War.... Another feature reinforces this; in the cellar of the existing house is an 18th century 'root cellar' entered by a flight of steps and closed with wood batten doors. The oldest house still intact in nearby Emmaus has an identical sub-cellar for the storage of food and wine."
