Located in old “Polifly,” this house was built about 1792 by George Brinkerhoff on a 200 acre farm he had purchased in 1784. It was owned in 1806 by his son Henry G. and in 1849 by Henry’s son Enoch, an N.J. Assemblyman. In the 1870’s, great-grandson Henry E. remodeled the house and later became a founding councilman of the Borough of Wood-Ridge. Leopold Brandenburg purchased the house in 1905 and served as Mayor in 1918-19. In 1954, the house was renovated as the town memorial library.
