Allen House, Colonial residence in Shrewsbury, United States.
The Allen House contains period furnishings that reflect its role as a colonial tavern, with rooms arranged to show daily operations from the 1700s.
Built around 1710 as a second home for the Stillwell family, the property later transformed into the Blue Ball Tavern under Josiah Halstead's ownership.
The property served as a central meeting point for the Vestry of Christ Church, Shrewsbury Library Company, and Monmouth County Circuit Court sessions.
The Allen House operates as a museum under the Monmouth County Historical Association at the intersection of Broad Street and Sycamore Avenue.
In 1779, the house witnessed a Loyalist raid during the American Revolutionary War, resulting in three Continental troops' deaths and nine captures.
