APPEARANCE Metlar House consists of portions built at three different periods* The earliest portion which faces nearly west (or up-river) has one room eighteen feet square on the ground level and a room above built under the roof with a sloping ceiling. At one time a small one story lean-to was attached to the rear or northern wall and probably served as a kitchen* There is no connection between the second story room and the second floor of the remainder of the house* A cellar room is below with a six foot ceil­ ing and a "cold hole"in the floor* The construction is of the braced frame type with a rubble foundation and brick lining. The exterior is clapboard with a six and one half inch exposure. \The floor beams are of oak with mortise and tenon construction held with wooden pins. The floors are of one and one quarter inch random width pine, some of the boards being in excess of eighteen inches in width. A fireplace and chimney are located in the end or western wall. The chimney is in the room. A rather simple pine mantel and a small cupboard built into rn the chimney are original workmanship. It is interesting to note that an rn identical mantel was built for the Matthias Smock House, presently owned by Dr. Paul Jennings, which is of similar age and is located two miles further west on the River Road* The center portion of the house was built next* The exact date is not known* The basic construction is similar to that of the earlier portion* TO Again, a brick lined braced frame construction was used with pegged mortar and tenon joints* The timbers appear to be sprucei"!*rhe interior woodwork, as contrasted with the plain trim in the older rooms, is more elaborate and n has a Greek Revival flavor—wide and tapering upright members and heavy hori H zontal members at the top of the doors and windows* o This portion of the house has a gracious seven foot wide entrance -hall z which runs the full depth of the house. The newel post and bannister are of walnut and there is a landing with a window overlooking the back garden* Th glass around and over the front door is handmade* v III \There is also a double living-room on the ground floor sixteen by thirt; two feet in size with sliding dividing doors in the middle* Each half of the only for use as a ventilator* It is possible that the marble mantels were rather late additions and replaced earlier wooden ones^g-The floor is of matched pine boards with a natural finish. The floor boards are laid with cut nails but are of uniform width. Some window sash in this portion of the house are original with handmade glass—some were replaced with modern match ing sash when the house was restored inJLSf&t The original sash and solid blinds are handmade of a rather oily greenish yellow semi-hardwood* The door and trim are of pine and painted* .Si ficance PERIOD fCfrec* One or Afore as Appropriate) Q Pre-Columbian | 1 Q 16th Century 1C] 18th Century 20th Century n T5t*i Century Q ] 7th Century |£j 19th Century SPECIFIC (it Applicable and Known) 1728 j built by Peter Bodine" AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE fCfcec* One or More am Appropriate) Abor rginal (~1 Education Q' Political Q Urban Planning f~{ Prehistoric [~1 Engineering Q Religion/Phi, D Other (Specify) Q Historic Q Industry losophy (~| Agriculture f~| Invention Q Science (53 Architecture i~1 Landscape f~l Sculpture D Art Architecture [~| Social/Human­ fifl Commerce Q Literature itarian [~] Communications C3 Military n Theater I | Conservation Music I | Transportation STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Probably one of two houses (the other being Ivy Hall or the Low House) remaining from the rather extensive settlement which flourished at Raritan ^anding, the height of navigation on the Raritan River in the 18th century.

Peter 3odine occupied his house for five years and sold it"^n733 to Hendrick Lane u rtio died in 1761. Lane*s widow, Margaret, sold it in 1780 to William French.

The i860 census indicated that Knapp owned 20 acres of land and was a merchant and farmer. The house and property were purchased from Khapp in 18°U by George W. Metlar who also purchased Ivy Hall i 1870 and Ross Hall in i860. The present Metlars Lane was named for George etlar. George Metlar at one time owned everything along River Roa<i to High- .and Park's boundary. George Metlar f s eon, John V.D., inherited'the house UJ md 70.55 acres of land from his father in 191U.

NEW BRUNSWICK—Concluded. The New Brunswick of the present day is preeminently one of the enterprising and progressive cities of the State. The markets of the world are open to her commercial interests and manufacturing indus- tries, located as she is in direct communication and connection with the two populous seaports of the eastern portion of the Nation. The traveler from the East, reclining in his comfortable seat in a Pullman of today, as he approaches the east bank of the Raritan river, sees spread before him the smoke rising towards the heavens from the large brick chimneys of her thriving manufactories, and in the distance the campus and classic college buildings. In his overhead passage, the highways and byways of the city attract his attention, glimpses are caught of twirling trolley cars, and a busy class of people engaged in the various vocations of life.

  • The Raritan-Millstone Heritage Alliance Winter 2017
    Volume 21, Issue 4 The Raritan-Millstone Heritage Alliance Winter 2017 “Historic Treasure” Town Welcomes Heritage Alliance Board George Dawson Vice Chair The March board meeting of the Raritan-Millstone Heritage Alliance will be hosted by the Cranbury Mu- seum, in the town and village recently described by Rutgers University historian John Chambers as an “historic treasure.” The Museum is located at 4 Park Place, in the restored 1834 (circa) Garrett Voorhees house, one of 218 buildings in the Cranbury Historic District, an historic place registered with the State Historic Preservation Office in 1979 and with the National Park Service in 1980. John Whiteclay Chambers II, Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University and former head of its history department, wrote recently in Cranbury: a New Jersey town from the colonial era to the present, published in 2012 by Rutgers University Press: Cranbury, which has preserved the best of the past while astutely meeting the challenges of the present, provides an inspiration for active intelligent civic partici- pation and a model for enlightened developments. Main Street in Cranbury still resembles the America of a Norman Rockwell paint- ing. Arriving through farmers’ fields on rural, 2-lane roads or a nearby highway, visitors discover a tree-shaded village of white, clapboard houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, most with dark wooden shutters, many with front porches and some with white picket fences. 21 were constructed at the beginning of the 49 in the early 20th century and 40 th 19 century, or earlier; (less than 20%) later than the 1930s.

  • From Indian Trail to Interstate
    From Indian Trail to Interstate A comprehensive plan for: The restoration, interpretation and rehabilitation of the Metlar/Bodine House “Raritan Landing” Piscataway, New Jersey From Indian Trail to Interstate The land presently called “Central New Jersey” has been a transportation hub since prehistoric times. Ten thousand (10,000) to fifteen thousand (15,000) years ago humans found their way to a substantial valley using a river as their path. The land was bountiful, teeming with game and located far enough inland to provide protection from inhospitable visitors and cold temperatures during the winter months. The river produced an abundance of fish and the aboriginal people traveled the waterway in canoes made from hollowed-out tree trunks, going as far as the river’s mouth and into the mighty ocean beyond. Eventually, the people called themselves the Lenape and the river, the Rariton (later changed to Raritan). This prehistoric scene contained important trails the Lenape formed by constant use of the same pathways through the wilderness. A ford, or a place where rocks form a type of bridge and where the river is shallow enough, allowed the path to cross the river. Along the Rariton, the Minisink Trail enabled movement from the mountains of northwest New Jersey, and the broader Appalachian range, to the New Jersey shore. When Europeans arrived in earnest in the 1600s to settle the valley, the river, now called the Raritan, was used as their primary conveyance. Colonists crossed the river at Innian’s Ferry at present-day New Brunswick at the site of the Upper Road between New York and Philadelphia.

    Summer 2014 Volume 16 Number 1 2014-2015 H&P Section Executive Board PRESIDENT’S LETTER By Danny Klein, Danny Klein, President President NJLA History & Preservation Section Debra Schiff, Vice President I’d like to start this, my first President’s Letter for The Chronicle, by thanking Ken Kaufman, Secretary Past President Jessica Myers for her service over the last year, and all the Jessica M. Myers, Past President help she offered during the program development for last year’s NJLA Members-At-Large: conference. I’d also like to thank (again!) the program committee, Carolyn Kim Adams Dorsey, Tim Corlis and Bill Fisher for volunteering. Sarah Hull I’m hoping this year will bring new issues and challenges. One of the things I Annamarie Klose hope to accomplish as Section President is implementing a social media Laura M. Poll program, which might include outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Ex Officio: Pinterest. Social media can help us keep each other – and our patrons – Caryn Radick, updated on programs and exhibits. I think we can use social media as both MARAC NJ Caucus an educational and a marketing tool to help inform the public about who we Michele Stricker, are and what we do. State Library Liason I would also like to tackle a local history census, polling libraries throughout ___________ the state about their history and genealogy collections, programming and To submit articles, news or staffing. If you, dear reader, have any ideas about implementing these ideas, calendar events to The Chronicle, please get in touch with me. email Sarah Hull, newsletter editor, at [email protected].
