Newkirk House, Dutch Colonial building in Journal Square, Jersey City, US.
The two-story Newkirk House features thick stone walls, sandstone construction, brick elements, and wooden beams secured with eight-inch pegs instead of nails.
Built in 1690, the Newkirk House stands as Jersey City's oldest structure, constructed during the period when Dutch settlers established their presence in the region.
The building represents the Bergen Dutch identity through its architectural style and connection to early settlers Mattheus and Gerrit Newkirk who arrived in New Amsterdam.
Located at 510 Summit Avenue behind the PATH transportation center, the empty structure remains under preservation efforts following its purchase for 1.2 million dollars.
The building's basement contains original six-by-twelve inch timber beams, while the second floor rests on four-by-six inch beams placed four feet apart.
