The house was originally built in 1739 by Anthony White, son-in-law of Lewis Morris, a colonial governor of New Jersey.

Today, the house is looked after by the Jersey Blue chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR).

Tours are given on Sundays from June through October, and at other times by appointment.

The house is decorated with Federal and Victorian furnishings, many of which belonged to the Scott family, owners during much of the 19th century.
