Notes
Survey number HABS NJ-778
Significance: The significance of the Johnson House lies in its historical association with the British attack on Chestnut Creek during the Revolutionary War. The house became the refuge of Michele Johnson and was supposedly saved from being torched because the British were loathe to torch her as well. This house was most likely not the original as more accurate dating techniques assign it to 1835-40.
