	ROADSIDE FARM HOUSE NEAR PEARL RIVER, NEW JERSEY. Note the use of "Germantown hoods," and the fact that wings are added to the ends only.
	THE TERHEUN HOUSE, HACKENSACK, NEW JERSEY. Date about 1670. The body of the house is the oldest section. One of the few examples where us was made of moldings on the exterior other than door and window architraves.
	THE BOARD-ZABRISKIE HOUSE, ON THE PARAMUS ROAD, NEW JERSEY. Note the Chinese-Chippendale ornament in the cornice of main house. Dormers, wing and railing probably added later.
	THE BOARD-ZABRISKIE HOUSE, ON THE PARAMUS ROAD, NEW JERSEY. Of all the houses in this section, none is more charming; the interest lies in both the composition and beautiful detail.
	THE ACKERMAN (BRINCKERHOFF) HOUSE, HACKENSACK NEW JERSEY. Date, 1704 carved in the end of chimney. Interesting use of columns under the overhang in the center only.
	JOHN PETER B. WESTERVELT HOUSE AT CRESSKILL, NEW JERSEY. Date about 1800. An almost perfect example of the full development of the style.
	THE VREELAND HOUSE AT NORDHOFF, NEW JERSEY. The wing dates from the 18th century; the body of the house was added about 1825, and is extremely interesting in detail.
	THE ANDREW HARRING HOUSE AT NORTHVALE, NEW JERSEY. Rebuilt 1805 and 1838.
	DR. BILDERBECK'S HOUSE, SALEM NEW JERSEY. Built in 1813. The bead-edged clapboard walls are painted yellow and the trim is white. There has been an unfortunate 20th-century excrescence added at the side. The building is otherwise intact and as sound as when first built.

RickS 07/18/19	I used to work for a millwork company in Delaware. The owner had most of the White Pine Series books, original editions. They were kept in the break room and I spent a month of lunch times carefully going through them. They greatly fueled my love for early American architecture and woodworking. Very nice to have access to them again. Thanks.
bwright 07/31/19	Thanks Rick. We always loved the White Pine Series. Glad we could bring them alive here.
