History and description
editBuilt c. 1800, the house is an example of a clapboard house in the county. Its builder is presumed to be a relation, perhaps a nephew, of John Hart, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and lived in nearby Hopewell. The house is notable for its similarity to the John White House in Lawrenceville.[4]
