| Fordville, Hanover Township, Whippany |
Originally built in 1715 by John Ford, Fordville was a working farm for over 150 years. Ten generations of the Ford family lived at Fordville until the mid 1980s. In 1975, Fordville was listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places. Recently restored, Fordville retains the charm of the last three centuries, while incorporating the conveniences of modern living. Some of Fordville’s appeal lies in its mysteries. Why are the windows numbered? Why is there a false wall in the Prayer Room? Intrigue abounds at Forville! The house has many unique rooms and retains historic detail. The first floor includes a formal dining room, a library with pumpkin pine floors and an original oil-burning lamp, a beautiful front-to-rear hall and two formal parlors. The kitchen, also on the first floor, boasts a large pantry, a utility room, and a coal- and wood-burning cast iron stove dating to the 1850s, one of 12 fireplaces and cast iron stoves in the house. The second and third floors offer a total of nine bedrooms, including a suite. The house features a total of 5.5 beautifully renovated baths.
Outbuildings include one storage shed. This property is readily accessible by routes 24 and 287. Offered at $1,695,000: shown by appointment only.

| 850 Terrill Road, The Lampkin House, Plainfield |
850 Terrill Road, known locally as the Lampkin House, is a 1.5 story, post-and-beam wood frame structure with many features which strongly suggest that it is an early Dutch style farmhouse. The house retains many 17th century characteristics, including corner fireplaces, an original 8-foot open-hearth fireplace with its original crane and bake oven, and massive exposed ceiling beams. This house is likely one of the area’s original settlement houses. This nine-room house has four bedrooms, and a full basement. It has a screened front porch and a rear sun porch. Included on the property is a 19th century barn. The property shares a border with 30 acres of municipally owned and protected open space. The Lampkin House requires immediate stabilization, as it is significantly deteriorated. The Lampkin House may qualify for preservation funding assistance, including the Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit, state and county grants, and loans. The property may also qualify for a preservation easement. James K. Estabrook, Esq. |

| 6 West Pearl Street, Burlington, “Ivy Cottage” |
THE OLDEST STANDING BREW HOUSE IN THE UNITED STATES An unusual river view 1770 Georgian home, built up and over the 1680s brew house originally built as part of a complex of structures surrounding the first governor of West Jersey's mansion. Identified by a team of researchers in the early 1980s, this information never went beyond the local history newsletter, and became lost again to the public. The current owner began renovations, and revealed a late sizable 17th century structure within the mid 18th century home, exactly where the researchers said it would be. Ivy Cottage, as it is known on all the oldest maps, faces Burlington's Promenade along the Delaware River, and is located right at the river end of the historic downtown district. It shares a yard with The Hoskins House, built in 1780 when the governor's home was torn down, and another yard with the site of Collins Print Shop, where B. Franklin printed money for the Colony of New Jersey. Much work has already been done opening the house up in anticipation of a total renovation. Four original 1770 paneled room-end fire places, one with original Pennsylvania blue marble inserts. Year Built: 1680s, with 1770 home built up and over.
