History and description

The farmhouse was built in the 1790s by Jacob Kline, an elder at the Zion Lutheran Church in Oldwick and a county freeholder. The one and one-half story frame building overlooks a spring that feeds the Cold Brook, a tributary of the Lamington River. After Kline died in 1823, the property was sold to Joseph Bartles and Benjamin Van Doren, husbands of two of his daughters.[4]
