Schuyler-Colfax House
Schuyler-Colfax House, Dutch Colonial house in Wayne, United States
The Schuyler-Colfax House combines fieldstone and Holland brick construction with timber-frame roofing, displaying New Jersey Dutch Colonial architectural elements.
Built in 1695 by Arent Schuyler as a one-room farmhouse, the structure received an addition in 1783 when William Colfax married Hester Schuyler.
The residence connects to national politics through Schuyler Colfax Jr, who served as the 17th Vice President of the United States.
Located at 2343 Paterson Hamburg Turnpike, the house functions as a museum owned by Wayne Township, preserving eight generations of local history.
General George Washington stayed at this house in July 1777, and Martha Washington later attended a christening ceremony for the Colfax family.
