Foster-Armstrong Farm, Old Mine Road, Montague, Sussex County, NJ
Summary
Significance: Probably built in the 1790s by Julius Foster as a public house, the wood frame portion of the house is more characteristic of coastal Dutch architecture than of the upper Delaware Valley. Foster's son-in-law, James Britten Armstrong, added the stone portion sometime after 1812. Between the two of them, Foster and Armstrong operated a ferry, sawmill, distillery, general store, and blacksmith shop in the vicinity. The house was owned and occupied by the Armstrong family until the 1970s.
