This old Dutch sandstone house, shown on Erskine's 1780 map, was built by Cornelius Lozier before the Revolution. South of it stood the grist mill known as Lozier's Mill. Later, when the property passed to Garret Lydecker, the area was called Lydecker's Mill. In 1826, Abrahma Van Riper, then owner, built the stone mill that stands north of the house.
