Originally occupied by Phillipsburg tailor William Stites, this Federal-style townhouse later became the home of prominent resident John Lander, born 1798 and died 1889, who was co-founder of the Warren Iron Foundry in 1856 and the town postmaster. In 1882 he was hailed as “the oldest living postmaster.” The townhouse was remodeled in 1875 in Italianate grandeur and later served as the last law office of State Sen. Wayne Dumont.
