The Sand Brook Historic District is a 27-acre (11 ha) historic district encompassing the community. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 2013, for its significance in architecture and community development. The district includes 16 contributing buildings, six contributing structures, and two contributing sites. It includes Greek Revival and Late Victorian architecture. The former Sand Brook General Store was built around 1902 by Samuel F. Fauss. It is a two-story frame building featuring Queen Anne architecture. The Sand Brook German Baptist Church was built in 1848 by a group from the Amwell Church of the Brethren. It is a one-story stuccoed-stone building with Greek Revival influences. The congregation was locally known as the "Moorites", after elder John P. Moore and his family. The small stone-walled graveyard located behind the church also contributes to the district.
