Frame Amersley has played many roles since R. Rowland Moore and Margaret Tyson made it their home in 1886. Often its occupants acted in concert with neighbors across the fields in Plainfield, also a Moore redoubt. In 1889 the two families became pioneers in the experimental use of steam heat--advanced technology causing far less dust and dirt than coal and wood. In 1894 they went hi-tech again, stringing a telephone line between the two homes. Tarleton and Rebecca Moore Stabler purchased Amersley in 1895, and soon Stabler and William W. Moore of Plainfield set up Amersley as a local creamery and ice cream shop. Today Amersley is the home of Priscilla Allen.

Tarelton Stabler's two Jersey cattle probably contributed to the Amersley creamery and ice cream shop.
