General John Frelinghuysen House
General John Frelinghuysen House, Federal-style historic house in Raritan, United States
The General John Frelinghuysen House features a two-story brick main section and an older frame wing, displaying classical proportions and symmetrical design elements.
Built before 1756, the west wing initially served as a tavern and town meeting hall before John Frelinghuysen purchased the property in 1801.
The building now functions as the Raritan Public Library, containing historical documents and memorabilia dedicated to Medal of Honor recipient John Basilone.
Located at 54 East Somerset Street, the house stands as a preserved example of early 19th-century Federal architecture in New Jersey.
The main brick section was constructed using imported Dutch materials, reflecting the strong influence of Dutch settlers in the region.
