Red House eventually was incorporated into the Allegheny State Park Reservation (Seneca). His grandson James was the supervisor of Red House in 1886. Nelson, his son, was a life long representative and farmer. A school was built in 1851. H.C. Freck operated huge saw mills in Red House but the mills burned in 1893, probably also precipitating the decline of Red House.

Other pioneer settlers were James Rosenberry, Lysander Whaley, Caleb Owens, Howard Fuller, Elijah Pease, Hubbard Clark, Richard Wright, William Coan, Abner Thomas, Richard Burgett, Sylvester Dunbar, Marcus Frisbie, Stephen Carr, Francis Strickland, George Decker, David and Ezekiel Kelly.

Red House prospered as a lumber center, until it came under eminent domain for the reserve and began a swift decline between 1890-1900.

Red House prospered as a lumber center, until it came under eminent domain for the reserve and began a swift decline between 1890-1900.Federal condemnation of tribal lands to be flooded for the Kinzua Dam project displaced more than 600 Seneca members and cost the reservation 10,000 acres (4,000 ha), nearly one-third of its territory and much of its fertile farmland. The dam was completed in 1965 and, Red House was flooded. Graves were relocated to the Steamburg Cemetery in nearby Randolph, New York.
