The Vincent Forge Mansion, also known as Young's Forge Mansion and the Kerry Dell Farm, is a historic American home that is located in East Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Built circa 1770, this historic structure is a -story, five-bay by two-bay, stone dwelling with a gable roof and pent. It was originally the ironmaster's home and office at an eighteenth-century iron forge. The forgemaster, John Young, and his wife, Susanna, lived there with their five children: John, Elizabeth, Susanna, Sarah and George.[1] The forge operated from roughly 1760 to 1800. The house later became a farmhouse.
In 1925, the property was sold to the Catholic Church for use as a boy's summer camp. The camp closed during the late-1970s.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
