Johnson Hall was the home of Sir William Johnson, located in the Frontier.
Description
William Johson himself had built the Johnson Hall in 1763. He had about 60 slaves to do the manual labour, earning him the title of the biggest slaveholder in the north. It was more of a homestead than a house - there was a sawmill and a grist mill on the property, and tenant farmers worked on the land.
The exterior was wood painted to make it look like stone. However, the block houses on its either sides were made of actual stone, meant for defensive purposes. The French and Indian War had just ended when the house was built, so it made sense to prepare the house for an attack.
