Seven Chimneys, Historic house in Washington Township, New Jersey, United States
The Seven Chimneys house displays Dutch colonial architecture with handcut beam framing, rough stone foundations, and lime mortar construction techniques from the 18th century.
Built between 1745 and 1750 by Nicholas Zabriskie, this residence functioned as a stop on the Underground Railroad, helping enslaved people escape to freedom.
The property remained in the Zabriskie family for 158 years, connecting several prominent local families including the Ackermans, Harings, and Van Emburghs.
The surrounding neighborhood, Chimney Ridge Court, developed in 1965 when a construction company purchased and subdivided the original 500-acre farmland.
Theodore Roosevelt stayed in the west wing of Seven Chimneys from 1915 to 1917, writing articles for William B. Howland's publications during his visits.
