Van Wickle House, Historic house in Franklin Township, United States.
The Van Wickle House stands at 1289 Easton Avenue, featuring a stone foundation and traditional post-and-beam construction measuring 30 by 40 feet.
Built in 1722 by Symen Van Wickle, the house sits on an 800-acre farm that British forces occupied during the Revolutionary War in 1777.
The building demonstrates Anchorbent Dutch architecture, incorporating structural elements from Dutch, Flemish, and English building traditions of the 18th century.
The house remains closed for structural repairs following flood damage, but visitors can access the grounds, gardens, wetland boardwalk, and nature trail.
Research reveals that some white oak timbers used in the construction of the house date back to 1564.
