A view of @white_hill_mansion in Fieldsboro, #NewJersey. The mansion is located on a bluff along the Delaware River. Architecturally, it has a complicated history that has even puzzled architects as to its true dates. However, a small home was built on the property by Robert Field about 1723. A second home was later built to the right of the original home and connected by constructing an adjoining mid-section in the 1760s. However, there is currently ongoing research to determine if the section of the house on the left was built in 1723 or rebuilt on the 1723 foundation. The home was renovated in the Victorian style circa 1895. It then served as a restaurant from 1923 to 1992 and featured a full bar in the basement. After being abandoned for a number of years, in 1999, Fieldsboro acquired the #mansion. The Friends of White Hill Mansion have been taking steps to clean and document the house through architectural and archaeological studies and host a variety of events and tours to raise money toward its restoration. #nj #SpreadTheHistory #njhistory #historygirl #thisisnj #explore #adventure #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #history #ushistory #americanhistory #explorenj #njspots #jerseycollective #journeythroughjersey #whitehillmansion #fieldsboro #fieldsboronj #historicsite #burlingtoncounty #architecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #deserve2preserve #brick https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOag0IjziC/?igshid=offkt5qtcffs

Here is a photo from last weekend of @white_hill_mansion in Fieldsboro, #NewJersey. The mansion is located on a bluff along the Delaware River. Architecturally, it has a complicated history that has even puzzled architects as to its true dates. However, a small home was built on the property by Robert Field around 1722 (left side). A second home was later built to the right of the original home and connected by constructing an adjoining mid-section in the 1760s. The home was renovated in the Victorian style circa 1895. It then served as a restaurant from 1923 to 1992 and featured a full bar in the basement. After being abandoned for a number of years, in 1999, Fieldsboro acquired the #mansion. The Friends of White Hill Mansion have been taking steps to clean and document the house through architectural and archaeological studies and host a variety of events and tours to raise money toward its restoration. Recently, the mansion was the receipt of a grant from the @njhistorictrust. Since my last visit there about 5 years ago, vinyl siding on the front bay window, oriel window, and in the back has been removed, a door on the front has been restored, historically appropriate gutters were installed, and the soffit has been removed, revealing missing dentils on the cornice (that have been recreated). Things are progressing for this site in a positive direction! #nj #SpreadTheHistory #njhistory #historygirl #thisisnj #explore #adventure #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #history #ushistory #americanhistory #explorenj #njspots #jerseycollective #journeythroughjersey #whitehillmansion #fieldsboro #fieldsboronj #historicsite #burlingtoncounty #architecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #deserve2preserve (at Friends of White Hill Mansion) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSXs9hDfC3/?igshid=1pm84rpzrywts

Bunce Hall at @rowanuniversity in Glassboro, #NewJersey.

This slab-sheathed cottage is believed to be the oldest building at Atsion Village in Wharton State Forest, Shamong, NJ. It probably dates back to the "early iron days". #nj #njhistory #historygirl #SpreadTheHistory #architecture #archi_ologie #oldhouselove #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #americanhistory #ushistory #thisisnj #jerseycollective #igersnj #njspots #journeythroughjersey #visitnj #pinebarrens #pinelands #shamongnj #shamong #atsion #atsionvillage #whartonstateforest #njparks (at Atsion Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7hbaNKHmlM/?igshid=1egx10g489zsy

The Asbury Park Casino Arcade in Asbury Park, #NewJersey, looking from the Ocean Grove side. The former casino building (which was located to the right), now demolished, was built in 1929. Just like the Paramount Theater and Convention Hall which are located at the other end of the boardwalk, the Casino complex was designed by the architectural firm Warren & Wetmore. #nj #njhistory#asburypark #asburyparknj #historygirl #SpreadTheHistory #architecture #archi_ologie #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #americanhistory #ushistory #thisisnj #jerseycollective #igersnj #njspots #journeythroughjersey #visitnj #monmouthcountynj #historicsite #jerseyshore #beach (at Asbury Park Casino Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UmeGSHSSF/?igshid=170y46x77pk56

A #clock from the auditorium of Tuckerton High School on display at the Tuckerton Historical Society Museum, which is located in the former Giffordtown Schoolhouse in Little Egg Harbor, #NewJersey. In 1979, Pinelands Regional High School was built, replacing the old high school building. It is now Tuckerton Elementary School. The Giffordtown Schoolhouse was originally located in Tuckerton and built circa 1884 as a one-room school. It was later enlarged to two rooms. The school operated until 1951. In June 1977, the building was moved to Little Egg Harbor to save it from demolition. It reopened in 1982 as a museum and headquarters of the Tuckerton Historical Society. #nj #njhistory #historygirl #SpreadTheHistory #architecture #archi_ologie #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #americanhistory #ushistory #thisisnj #jerseycollective #igersnj #njspots #journeythroughjersey #visitnj #oceancountynj #jerseyshore #giffordtownschoolhouse #tuckertonnj #tuckerton #littleeggharbornj #littleeggharbor #tuckertonhighschool #museum (at Tuckerton Historical Society) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Zsx9UnK_e/?igshid=c7cw19f0x59o

The 1775 Arney's Mount Friends' Meeting House near Columbus, #NewJersey. Adjacent to the meeting house is the burial ground. This is the oldest meeting house without interior partitions in the region that is still in use. No electricity, formal heating, or plumbing has ever been installed. According to oral tradition, Samuel Smith was the builder. Local bog iron stone was used to construct the outer walls. Arney’s Mount suffered two fires in the early 1800s. The first was 1800 and the second was 1809. The second fire nearly destroyed the building except for its stone walls. The building was occasionally used from 1871 to 1898 and not used at all from 1898 until the meeting's revival in 1941. The meeting house and the burial ground were added to the @nationalregisternps in 1973. #nj #SpreadTheHistory #njhistory #historygirl #thisisnj #explore #adventure #southjersey #travelblog #travelblogger #blogger #blog #history #ushistory #americanhistory #explorenj #njspots #jerseycollective #journeythroughjersey #arneysmount #quaker #meetinghouse #arneysmountnj #nrhp #meeting #friends #stone (at Arney's Mount Friends Meetinghouse and Burial Ground) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9SNVlHIHD/?igshid=arjuethyt1av
