Wyckoff-Garretson House, Colonial house in Franklin Township, US.
The Wyckoff-Garretson House features white oak construction, traditional Dutch architectural elements, and a distinctive anchorbent frame system from the 1730s.
Built in 1730 by Cornelius Wyckoff, the house expanded in 1805 when Samuel Garretson added clapboard siding and new windows to the structure.
Dutch craftsmen from Brooklyn contributed their expertise to construct this residence, incorporating traditional building methods from their homeland into the design.
Located at 215 South Middlebush Road, the house now functions as a museum operated by the Meadows Foundation, offering educational tours about colonial life.
The house retains its original mortise and tenon joints, with each structural frame weighing approximately 2,500 pounds.
