Hardware fragments. Measured drawing delineated by Frederic Lansing, 1936. (Reproduction Number: HABS NJ-16, sheet 27 of 27) The wrought-iron hardware depicted in this HABS drawing comes from a Dutch Colonial house built sometime between 1677 and 1720 by David des Marest, a French Huguenot and immigrant to the American Colonies from the Netherlands. The hinges may have been part of the original building or may have been added later as part of an improvement project during the colonial period. The stone pestle for grinding and the wrought-iron fire tongs and horse's bit were also found around the house. Credit: Library of Congress.
