Van Veghten House, Colonial house in Bridgewater Township, United States.
The Van Veghten House stands as a two-story brick structure with brownstone foundation and Flemish bond brickwork along the Raritan River in New Jersey.
During the American Revolutionary War from 1778 to 1779, the residence functioned as headquarters for Quartermaster General Nathanael Greene during the second Middlebrook encampment.
The residence represents one of five colonial houses where General Washington and his officers conducted military operations and social gatherings during the Revolutionary period.
The Somerset County Historical Society maintains the property at 9 Van Veghten Drive, offering access to historical archives and educational resources about colonial America.
Four Greek Revival style mantelpieces and iron beam anchors with brick voussoirs above window heads demonstrate the architectural evolution of this 18th-century structure.
