Anna Catherine Koppenhoffer (1769-1822), and their three children, Christian Jr., John and Catherine. Completed by Filbert between 1823 and 1825, that home was occupied by Christian Ley and his family until Ley's death in 1831. It was then sold in 1837 to William Graeff, a tanner who had opened a large general store in Pine Grove. Following Graeff's death in 1873, the home was then inherited by his daughter, Barbara Ann, who had married Bowdoin College graduate James L. Nutting (1818-1880), the owner of a large farm in nearby Brookside, Pennsylvania who went on to become a public and private school teacher and school director in Pine Grove. Barbara Ann (Graeff) Nutting and her husband, who also had interests in the coal and iron industry, had three children, only one of whom (Anne) survived to adulthood. That child, Anne Nutting, then went on to marry Richard Wigton in the backyard at Nutting Hall and, following her father's death in 1880, became the next to inherit the historic home. She and her husband subsequently had three children of their own: Jeanette (born in 1882), Kathryn, Nutting, Elizabeth and Richard (born in 1883). Her son, Richard, then became the home's sole owner, and continued to maintain ownership until his death in 1952. At this point, the home was sold to Reuben and Anne Riggen. This was the first time in the history of Nutting Hall that the home and property had left the family. Owned by the Riggens for ten years, it was then sold to Glenn Schell in 1963, who converted parts of the home into individual apartments. Later history Nutting Hall's construction date and name of its builder, Peter Filbert, reportedly were still visible on the home's original plaster from its completion in 1825 until the 1963 apartment conversion. In 1974, Margery Wheeler Mattox purchased Nutting Hall from Glenn Schell, and launched a 25-year restoration initiative. A native of Reading, Pennsylvania, Mattox had fond memories of watching Decoration Day parades across the street from Nutting Hall while visiting relatives in Pine Grove during her childhood, and had previously restored historic homes in New Smithville (near Allentown) and Aspers (near Gettysburg). Following its restoration, the home was then placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1980. In 1997, Mattox's brother, Richard "Dick" Wheeler, came to live with Mattox at Nutting Hall. A World War II veteran who
