History and description

The two and one-half story frame house, built by Jacob Vosseller about 1753, features Georgian architecture. In 1805, John J. Castner was granted a license to operate it as a tavern and service stage coach travelers on the old Pluckemin Road. In 1811, John Fisher operated the tavern. Castner later sold the property to John Herder in 1814, who sold it to Daniel and Adriana Groendycke in 1832, who sold it to William L. Allen in 1836. After his death in 1863, John K. Allen farmed the property, no longer a tavern, until his death in 1904.
