The Thomas Munce House is a historic house located in South Strabane Township, Pennsylvania, United States.

History and architectural features

The earliest section of this historic structure was built circa 1794 with additions completed circa 1810 and 1835. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story, stone, vernacular, Georgian-influenced structure with a gabled roof and a façade with five openings. It is representative of the more substantial, second-generation houses built to replace earlier log houses in Washington County.[2]

It was designated as a historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation,[3] and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
