The historic stone house was built by 1765. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1936.[3] Listed as the Jacobus DesMarest House, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1978, for its significance in architecture.[1][4]
History and description
[edit]According to the nomination form, the house has several sections. The date of construction of the oldest section remains unknown. It is a 1 and 1/2 story kitchen wing, constructed using red sandstone, expanded with red brick. It may have been built in the 1680's. Attached to the kitchen is a 1 and 1/2 story section with a gambrel roof. Jacobus Demarest may have built these two sections after his second marriage in 1720. The house was expanded by John Demarest in 1765, as documented by a datestone. It was expanded again around 1920.[4] Jacobus Demarest (1681–1763) was the grandson of David des Marest, an early French settler in the county.[5]
