The oldest section of the house was built in 1745 by Barent Van Horn and is referred to as a telescope house because of the way it starts as a small house and larger additions were built later. It was documented as the John Branford House by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1937.[3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983, for its significance in architecture and exploration/settlement.[1][4] It was listed as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[5]
