Andrew Ten Eyck House

The Andrew Ten Eyck House, circa 1790-1810, is an important example of the township's early domestic architecture. The original brick portion of the house was constructed in the early 19th century, while the frame rear portion was added in the early 20th century.

The early main block of the house exemplifies a side hall plan more common in the Delaware Valley than in early 19th-century Somerset County. Early interior fabric still remaining includes door and window surrounds, door panels and a fireplace mantel in the Federal style, as well as tongue-and-groove flooring and beaded baseboards. The second floor contains a local research library.
