History

The original section of the house was built in 1741 by Abraham D. Haring. A large Dutch Colonial style addition was built onto the house in 1828. Samuel B. Corning purchased the house in 1856. Jenkins Sloat purchased the house in 1870 and operated a sawmill on the property. William L. Tait, who was the first mayor of Rockleigh owned the house from 1913 to 1930. Tait added a wing to the house, a veranda and extended the central dormer. The Rose Haven School for girls used the house as living space from 1930 until 1983.[3]
