Van Vorst House, Colonial building in Jersey City, United States.
The Van Vorst House stands at 531 Palisade Avenue in Jersey City, featuring architectural elements from the mid-18th century construction period.
The original foundation of the house dates back to 1647, marking the first stone structure built in what would later become Jersey City.
