History and description

The Miller-Kingsland House is the oldest recorded home in Boonton. The original Dutch house was one-room with a sleeping attic, built by Johannes Miller around 1740. This room, which is complete with a large cooking fireplace and beehive oven, makes up the west wing of the current structure. The property was sold to Isaac Kingsland in 1798. He added the two and one-half story main section in 1808. It features Dutch style and a gambrel roof.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=73001120}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Miller-Kingsland House |publisher=National Park Service|first1=Terry |last1=Karschner |date=March 1973 }} With {{NRHP url|id=73001120|photos=y|title=accompanying two photos}}
