Schuyler–Colfax House

The Schuyler–Colfax House is located at 2343 Paterson Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States.

[3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1973, for its significance in architecture.

The Dutch Colonial style addition to the originally brick and field-stone building was added by Colfax in 1783.

[4] Despite the 20th century alteration of the structure to add dormers in place of "belly-windows," the Schuyler–Colfax House was added to the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1965, a decision based upon surviving historic features and the important role the Schuyler–Colfax family has played in local history.

[5] Today, the building operates as a museum (though it is temporarily closed to the public) after having been purchased in 1994 by Wayne Township from Dr. Jane Colfax.
