This house we simply call the Stone
Double House. As you can see by the two doorways, this was a
two-family ironworker's house. However, the stonework is
much more substantial than that of the Milligan
-Harty House. The stones are
larger and are laid up in mortar, the walls are almost two
feet thick. The house was gutted by fire in 1983.
Restoration of the stonework and a new roof was accomplished
in 1995 as part of a grant from the New
Jersey Historic Trust and
the State
of New Jersey. These funds
also restored the exterior of the Milligan
-Harty House, the
Visitors
Center, work on the
waterwheels
and complete mapping surveys.
