Official Site of The State of New Jersey

The Nicholson House is an extraordinarily intact example of the eighteenth century patterned brick house, distinctive for the checkerboard patterned brick on three elevations, and a diamond-patterned east elevation with "1722" at the gable peak. The house has not been modified to accommodate heat or electricity, and retains a high level of integrity. Moreover, the house and its site are noteworthy for their associations with a prominent local family and the Quaker settlement in Salem.

The Trust grant will help fund repointing the bedding mortar on the diamond-patterned end of the house and stabilize the chimneys. This work will prevent further deterioration of the house’s unique brickwork.
