1. Stephen T. Zabriskie House Marker

Inscription.
Built on the farm of his grandfather, Christian J. Zabriskie, who bought the property in 1775. Tradition places a house on the site in 1792 but the present stone dwelling was probably built in the early 1800’s and occupied by Stephen T. Zabriskie. It was later owned by his son, Thomas V. B. Zabriskie, who added the frame wing in the 19th century. The house has been greatly altered over the years.

Erected by Bergen County Historical Society. (Marker Number 34.)
