The Abel and Mary Nicholson House is where Abel and Mary Nicholson lived in Salem, New Jersey. It is an excellent example of a Delaware Valley patterned brick building. [ [http://www.njht.org/dca/njht/funded/sitedetails/ct-nicholson_house.html NJ Historic Trust] ] The vitrified bricks form geometric designs and highlight the year of construction.
