Andrew Snable House

The Andrew Snable House is a historic house located on Sandyston-Haney's Mill Road near Wallpack Center in Walpack Township of Sussex County, New Jersey. It was added to the National [Register of Historic Places] on July 23, 1979, for its significance in architecture and exploration/settlement.

History and description

The house was probably built by Andrew Snable. The property is along the Flat Brook, a tributary of the Delaware River. The land was once owned by Colonel John Rosenkrans, a prominent local militia leader during the American Revolution. Andrew Snable bought the land for the house from Rosenkrans' son Levi in 1801.
The house is a -story stone cabin measuring 36 feet by 20 feet. It is notable for being one of the best-preserved stone cottages in the area, which preceded the larger framed farmhouses that were built from the mid-1800s on.
