Moses Taylor Sneden House
c. 1860

Circa 1860 Moses Taylor Sneden, son of Jacob Sneden, built for his bride, Maria Haring, an L-form two and one-half story Victorian farmhouse of clapboard construction with bargeboard trim. The house and outbuildings are sited atop the hill on Haring lands across the road from the homestead of his father-in-law, Nicholas Haring. The farmhouse with the long tree-lined driveway and outbuildings present a fine example of a 19^th century Bergen County farm.

A straight dirt and concrete private driveway lined with trees leads to this dwelling, perched atop a hill. The house, which has been enlarged, is in excellent condition. 

          The house is sited on about 15 acres of farmland, complete with outbuildings and barns
