Seven Chimneys
History
7
Seven Chimneys, the oldest house in Washington Township, was built by Nicholas Zabriskie about 1750. Wings were added after 1770, and in 1812 a second-story frame was raised above the original native sandstone. Tradition holds that the house served as an Underground Railway depot for escaping slaves before the Civil War. Theodore Roosevelt is said to have been a frequent visitor between 1915 and 1917.
