Of a style commonly called "Dutch", the house is a combination of Dutch, Flemish, and English influences and is an excellent example of early 18th century Dutch architecture unique to the New Jersey-New York area. The house itself, of massive post and beam construction, measures 30 by 40 feet, sitting solidly on a stone foundation.
Standing like a rock for 277 years, the house has been farmhouse, colonial showplace, and home for generations of owners. Restoration has included the addition of such important new facilities as an outdoor stage, formal gardens, a canal bridge & wetland boardwalk
