According to the New Jersey's Great Northwest Skylands website:
"The Benjamin Howell House was built in 1763, but the enlarged home we see today dates from construction that completed in 1793. From an original parcel of land totaling 160 acres in 1761, Howell sited his home along a one of the routes traveled frequently enough by forces of the Continental Army between Morristown and West Point, to be called 'Washington's Trail'. Historical records show the home was the site of military conferences associated with the famous winter encampment of the Continental Army and General Washington in and around Morristown in 1779-1780. The 1793 Federal-style expansion established the spare, symmetrical design that stands as an exemplar of New Jersey homes of the period." [2]
