The Samuel Shivers House, also known as the Old Red House, is one of the finest examples of Southern New Jersey eighteenth-century timber-frame architecture and preserves building elements from the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. A log cabin built on the site by John Shivers, father of Samuel Shivers, left remnants in the crawl space. In 1724, Samuel Shivers built the central portion of the house in the high Georgian English style. By 1728, after the family grew, he bought the first tavern in Salem County, called the "Sign of the Keys," had it disassembled and labeled by Native Americans, dragged a mile and a half by oxen, and joined it to the existing structure; this section had been an Indian fur trading post originally built and owned by John Shivers. The northern third was added in 1813 by William Shinn and included a dining room, a paneled music room, and bedrooms above. The house retains notable features including a fieldstone cellar, butt-jointed sheathing, a Greek pyramid style entry with a seven-light fan window, a Dutch-style split door with original strap hinges and lock, hand-planed partition board ceiling, a hand-carved mantel surround from 1790, a built-in barrel-back corner cupboard with carved shell from the 1790s, raised wainscot paneling, two original dated firebacks, original rear windows, and three fireplaces in the 1724 section. The property passed through the Shivers and Shinn families, whose members played prominent roles in Woodstown and New Jersey, including Joseph Shinn, who aided in writing the 1776 state constitution, and Isaiah Shinn, a state senator and militia general. From 1820 to 1850, the house was rented to tenants and served at the same time as a general store, a millinery shop, and a boarding house. In 1920, a lean-to kitchen addition was built on the back northern side. Interior scenes for the 1917 silent film Polly of the Circus were made in the house after Everett Shinn persuaded Samuel Goldwyn to produce the film in Woodstown, and the film, once thought lost after a 1967 fire, was later found in Dawson City, Yukon, in 1978. After remaining relatively unchanged until 1946, the house underwent damaging alterations, and by 2017 restoration by Gregg Perry was underway to return it as closely as possible to its original form.
