Stout, Joseph, House
About this property
The Joseph Stout House, also known as the Hunt House and the Weart–Hunt House, is a historic stone house built in 1752 and located on Province Line Road in the Stoutsburg section of Hopewell Township in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1937. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1974, for its significance in military and religion history. The fieldstone house was built in 1752 by Joseph Stout, one of the founders of the First Baptist Church of Hopewell. It is located on a hillside, the north elevation is two stories high and the south is three. During the American Revolutionary War, John Price Hunt lived here. On June 24, 1778, General George Washington held a council of war here in preparation for the Battle of Monmouth. In 1789, Wilson Stout sold the property to Jacob Weart. In 1853, Spencer Weart may have made extensive changes to the house. It remained in the Weart family until 1928. Currently it is owned by Robert Wilson, who planted the Pheasant Hill Vineyard above and below the house. Pheasant Hill is tended to by Unionville Vineyards, of which Wilson is also owner.
