About this property

The John D. Hart House is a historic home built c. 1800 and located at 54 East Curlis Avenue in Hopewell Township near the borough of Pennington in Mercer County, New Jersey. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1937. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 18, 1972, for its significance in architecture. Built c. 1800, the house is an example of a clapboard house in the county. Its builder is presumed to be a relation, perhaps a nephew, of John Hart, who was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and lived in nearby Hopewell.
