Lord Stirling Manor was built by William Alexander "Lord Stirling" in 1763, and he lived there until 1779. During the American Revolution, Lord Stirling served as a major general in the Continental Army and was one of Washington's most able and trusted officers. The original residence was destroyed by fire in 1920, and a new residence was later built on part of the remaining foundation. Two brick outbuildings are estimated to have been constructed circa 1840 by the Barkalow family, possibly on foundations from Lord Stirling's era; the easterly building may have served as a farm office, while the westerly building may have been intended as a granary or buttery. The site was listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1976, and on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.
