History and description
The house was built in 1740 by Joachim Gulick whose family ran a stage line.[6] It is situated on what was the King's Highway, nearby Kingston between Princeton and New Brunswick. The house was a stop on the Underground Railroad.[6] It remained in the Gulick family until 1901. After that the property had several owners and was subsequently subdivided.[5]
