It was built in 1688 by James Whitall. The Chew-Powell-Wallens Burying Ground, next to the house, is considered to be the oldest cemetery in the township, and it reportedly contains the remains of early settlers, Revolutionary and Civil Wars soldiers, and Leni Lenape Indians.[3]
The well-preserved structure, which is privately owned and maintained, currently serves as a private residence. It was listed in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Historic Preservation Office in 1974 (ID# 957),[4] and the National Register of Historic Places three months later in 1975 (NR reference #: 75001127).[5]
