William P. Christie purchased one hundred acres for five hundred pounds and built his home there in 1804. After his sudden death, the house and land were sold at auction to three buyers in order to be fair to the many heirs. In 1836 Samuel Parsels erected the large wing east of the Christie House, and in 1860 he sold his property to Charles Newcomb. The building is an example of an early split-level house and is listed by the Historic American Buildings Survey, New Jersey, 470.
