The Craft–Clausen House is a historic stone house located at 170 Fairmont Road in Washington Township, Morris County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1992, for its significance in architecture.[3] The house is part of the Stone Houses and Outbuildings in Washington Township Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[4]
History[edit]
John Craft bought the property here in 1848 and likely built the house soon after. The property was then sold to William Clausen in 1869. The next owner was Walter Parley in 1924.[3]
Description[edit]
The house is a 1+1⁄2-story stone building with a gable roof and Victorian architecture details. It was enlarged in 1924 with a small frame addition. The property also includes two outbuildings: a wagon house and a chicken coop.[3]
