Maj. John Burrowes Mansion, Colonial mansion in Matawan, United States.
The Burrowes Mansion features distinct architectural elements including hand-split round-cut shingles and a prominent gambrel roof design from the 1720s period.
During the Revolutionary War in 1778, British Loyalists raided the mansion, capturing John Burrowes Sr. while his son, Major John Burrowes Jr., managed to escape.
The mansion represents the early colonial architecture of New Jersey and stands as Matawan's principal residence from the pre-independence period.
Located at 94 Main Street in Matawan, the mansion functions as a house museum offering guided tours through its preserved colonial interiors.
The mansion belonged to John Burrowes Sr., known as the Corn King due to his grain merchant activities in colonial New Jersey.
