Dutch Buildings

August 26, 2017 by

Year Listed: 1999
Status: Progress Made
City: Monmouth
County: Monmouth

Additional Features:


DESCRIPTION:
New Jersey’s Dutch American buildings are concentrated in Bergen, Monmouth and Somerset counties. The Dutch settled in Monmouth County beginning in the 1690s, and by the mid-18th century constituted about one-third of the county’s population. Dutch settlers left a legacy of distinctive houses and barns across Monmouth County’s historical landscape, which today are among the most significant historical sites.

A number of sites in the Monmouth County Dutch Buildings Study were already threatened at the time of the 1992 study due to advanced physical decay and development pressure. Still, the accelerated decline and loss of so many of these structures in recent years is cause for great concern, especially when one considers the age and rarity of these resources.
