John Casper Stoever Log House is a historic home located at New Holland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1740, and is a 1 1/2-story, 36 feet 6 inches by 22 feet, log dwelling. It has corner posts, to which the logs are attached with mortise and tenon joints. It had a gable roof with dormers and sat on a stone foundation. The log structure was covered with asbestos shingles over novelty siding. A one-story, rear addition was built in the 1880s and a glass entryway in the 1920s. Its builder, Rev. John Casper Stoever (1707–1779), was a prominent figure in the development of the Lutheran church.[2]
The house is no longer located at 200 W. Main St., and appears to have been moved about 30 feet south and turned 90 degrees.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
