The
Jesse Weise House,located on Schooley's Mountain Road (Route 24),
just north of South Branch of the Raritan River, was constructed
in 1830. This 2½ story fieldstone dwelling is characteristic
of stone buildings erected in the valley under the influence of
the German or Pennsylvania-German culture in the 18th-early 19th
century. the front facade has three bays with a center and side
entrance.
The
windows are all 9/9 wooden pegged double hung sash save the two
smaller 6 pane windows in the attic. Over the windows are stone
lintels with keystones. The corner stones are roughly coursed
and larger than those of the central construction thereby producing
a quoin-like effect. The roof is gable and has end chimney's on
each gable end. Both long facades have a two bay protective porch.
The gable end faced the road.
