The Cornelius Low House (also called Ivy Hall) is a Georgian manor in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey, United States, built in 1741 at Raritan Landing.

His grandfather, Peter Cornellessen Low, left Holland for the American colonies in 1659 and settled near Kingston, New York.

In 1729, he married Johanna Gouveneur, and they made plans to move to the emerging port community of Raritan Landing, near New Brunswick.

[citation needed] During a great flood in 1738, Low lost his first home, located along the wharf near Landing Lane, in Raritan.

[4] Cornelius Low died in early 1777, but the British spared his house because his loyalty to the King of England remained steadfast until his death.

The Low House is one of two remaining structures from the Landing and is a vital link to Piscataway and Middlesex County history.

Low purchased large, rectangular blocks of high quality stone for the front facade (facing the river and the community of Raritan Landing), most likely quarried in the Newark area.

Low was a frugal man and the only finely dressed stone is on the side of the house facing Raritan Landing.

[citation needed] The Low House today is one of only two remaining structures from Raritan Landing, and is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian-style architecture in America.

The County acquired the Low House to use as a local heritage museum for discussing the history of New Jersey and its context within that of national events.

In 1995, the Cultural and Heritage Commission and the Board of Chosen Freeholders accepted a grant from the New Jersey State Historic Trust for the restoration of the Low House.

These allowed access to the basement for Low's servants and workers so that certain goods could be stored there rather than in the warehouse along the Great Road.

These digs yielded a wide variety of objects including clay pipe fragments, Delft tiles, glass pieces, and a British military button.
