The wooden house is in pretty good shape considering it dates back to 1732, but the engineer in me was probably more intrigued by the glass house.

A building under glass or a building within a building -- the Session House stands in the parking lot of the Derry Presbyterian Church. The inner building is on the original site where it was built in 1732. The outer glass building was built around it in 1929, by chocolate millionaire M.S. Hershey. Peer through the glass and reflections and see if you can find the original letter slot cut into one of the doors; the building once served as the local post office.
