Nathan Fairbanks House Site
Description
Nathan Fairbanks House Site
L.S. Kimbark calls this the "Jonathan Fairbanks House", and states that it was built before 1840. The property once extended all the way to Beaver Brook, across the Morris Canal. Fairbanks purchased the land from Henry Van Houten, a member of the “Committee of Safety.” The Committee was a Revolutionary War-era group of concerned citizens who watched their Loyalist-leaning neighbors for suspect activities. The building was demolished sometime between 2004 and 2006.
