This building, c. 1760, was probably constructed by Richard Stockton, uncle of the signer. Like many early houses in central New Jersey, this still survives in plan as revealed in the cellar, but the present appearance of the facade is the result of mid-19th century alterations. There have been many prominent owners which have included members of the Stockton family, John Witherspoon, and Captain Howard, a British military officer.
