Francis Hopkinson House, National Historic Landmark in Bordentown, New Jersey.
The Francis Hopkinson House features a two-and-a-half-story brick structure with a gambrel roof and three rounded-top dormers at 101 Farnsworth Avenue.
Built in 1750 by merchant John Imlay, this house became the residence of Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, from 1774 to 1791.
The interior maintains its original floor plan with a central hall dividing two main rooms: a 24-by-15-foot living room and a 22-by-15-foot library.
The building now houses the Bordentown Chamber of Commerce office and museum on the first floor, with separate apartment units on the upper floors.
A Hessian officer prevented British forces from burning the house in 1778 due to his appreciation for Hopkinson's extensive book collection.
