Description |
Washington Spring at Drumthwacket, 354 Stockton Street. Drumthwacket is the official residence of the Governor of New Jersey. It was built in 1835. The house was the private residence of three owners, Charles Smith Olden, Moses Taylor Pyne, and Abram Spanel, before being purchased by the State of new Jersey in 1966. Intended for use as the official residence of the governor, it was not until 1981 that funds were raised by the New Jersey Historical Society to begin to accomplish the task. Moses Taylor Pyne bought Drumthwacket in 1893. Pyne, working with architect Raleigh Gildersleeve, renovated and expanded the house and added extensive gardens. |
