The Jesse Weise House

Jesse Weise House (1800)

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.
