Whitesbog Village & Cranberry Bog, Suningive House & Garden, 120-34 Whitesbog Road, Pemberton, Burlington County, NJ

Significance: Suningive was built during 1922-1923 by Elizabeth C. White in Whitesbog Village, an agricultural company town owned and operated by her family since the mid-nineteenth century. The house was located on the edge of one of the oldest cranberry bogs, and one the site of White's earliest blueberry test fields. White created an extensive Pine Barrens botanical garden around her house from the 1920s until her death in 1954. The house is a simple two and a half story structure with architectural details inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement. Suningive was custom-designed, perhaps by White herself, as living and work space connected to the surrounding landscape. Offices and a garage occupy the ground floor, while the main living spaces are on the elevated first floor. Additional bedrooms occupy the finished attic story. In location and design, Suningive represents White's lifelong career at Whitesbog and her intimate connection to the local Pine Barrens landscape.
