This sandstone and frame house was built about 1794 by Peter P. Post, a third generation miller from Pompton, who settled here in 1789 and operated a gristmill along nearby Bear Brook. Later owners included the Abraham J. Demarest family who were occupants for fifty years. Combining country and Federal styles of architecture, the house was enlarged and remodeled in the late 1800’s.
