Tulipwood, Shingle style historic house in Somerset, New Jersey
The house features a gambrel roof design with six-over-six windows, Tuscan columns on the porch, and wooden panels throughout the interior rooms.
New York architect Jacob August Lienau designed this residence in 1892 for Stephen Guion Williams, a member of the Williams & Guion Black Star Line family.
The interior displays medieval English influences through exposed wooden beams, sophisticated carved fireplace mantels, and traditional architectural elements from the period.
Franklin Township purchased the property in 2003, and the Meadows Foundation now manages monthly guided tours every second Sunday at 1165 Hamilton Street.
The structure stands as a rare example of late 19th-century Shingle Style architecture in Somerset County, with both exterior and interior features intact.
