Springside Farm is a 90 acre tract originally owned and operated by Archibald Taylor, son of Robert Taylor, who immigrated from Ireland in the 1750's. Beginning with Robert, the Taylor family managed the nearby iron works and lived at Solitude House for five generations. Archibald is recorded as having built a home and carriage house on the Old Road, now Nassau Road, for his family in 1803, although some records place the construction of the original Springside home and carriage house in the mid 18th century, leaving it unclear whether he built or purchased them. With good soil for agriculture, the family cultivated the land and grew orchards, and at his father's request Archibald produced select fruits and vegetables for employees of the Taylor Iron and Steel Company. With the construction of the springhouse and pond in the early 20th century, the farmstead came to be known as Springside Farm. Over the next 200 years, its use shifted from crops and orchards to dairy and equestrian purposes, and until recent times it remained a working dairy farm. The Springside home is a classic early Germanic style stone farmhouse resembling the original 18th century Solitude House and nearby Vought House in Clinton Township, retaining its colonial Germanic center stairwell layout, random width floor plans, Jersey winder stair, recessed paneling, and fireplaces, while a wood framed addition was added in the early 20th century. Other historic structures on the property include the adjacent Wagon House from the early 19th century, a late 19th century General Barn and Horse Barn, and an early 20th century cow barn and springhouse with pond. Springside Farm contains state and nationally recognized historic structures. The property was jointly purchased in 2000 by the Borough of High Bridge and adjacent Clinton Township with funding through Green Acres and grants through the County Cultural and Heritage Commission. High Bridge owns 29.27 acres of the farm as part of the borough's permanent open space. In 2005, the Union Forge Heritage Association launched a public awareness campaign to save the structures, and the current proposal is to convert the Dairy Barn and house into a performing arts theatre and reception space.
