Sandwiched between Philadelphia and New York City, NJ often doesn't get due credit for its contributions to colonial and early American life, including its rich and diverse architectural heritage.
"New Jersey's Colonial Architecture Told in 100 Buildings", David Veasey's latest book, discusses the substantial number of buildings remaining from our colonial past, including the Royal Governor's Mansion in Perth Amboy, the still functioning Black Horse Inn in Mendham, the meetinghouse style Fairfield Presbyterian Church in Salem County, to Nassau Hall on the grounds of Princeton University, to Washington's Headquarters in Morristown, to the Sandy Hook Lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in the country.
David Veasey is a lifelong New Jersey resident with a long-time interest in the State's history and architecture.
