History |
The house was constructed c. 1840. It is shown on the map of 1852 and all subsequent maps and atlases. This is the house where the Robeson family moved when Reverend Robeson was dismissed as pastor of the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church. He lived in this house until 1907, then he and Paul moved to Westfield, New Jersey. It was in this house that Paul’s mother’s clothes caught on fire when she was tending to a coal stove in the parlor of the house. She died as a result of severe burns. |
