The Demarest House is located at 268 Grove Street in the borough of Oradell in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The historic stone house was built in 1819 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983, for its significance in architecture.[1][3] It was listed as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County Multiple Property Submission (MPS).[4]

History

[edit]

According to the nomination form, the house was probably built by Peter P. Demarest. It remained in the Demarest family until around 1900, when it was sold to Hugh J. Grant, who was mayor of New York City from 1889 to 1892. Later Peter P. Demarest's grandson, John G. Demarest, acquired the house.[3]
