They are in Manchester Twp. on North Hogan Rd. The George Johnston House, survey number 350062, is listed as a Federal style house built circa 1820, significant for its architecture and association with exploration and settlement. The Joseph Johnston Mill & House, survey number 350063, is listed as Federal style, built circa 1847, significant for its architecture and associations with commerce, exploration, and settlement. Both were evaluated as "Outstanding" resources (the highest level) at the time. I would imagine that the survey forms recorded further information.
