CIRCA 1730! Welcome to the Nathaniel Chambless House. One of Americas most historic and coveted properties! This Georgian pattern brick house originally built by settling Quakers geographically unique to Western New Jersey; more specifically Salem/Cumberland Counties. This treasure was slated for demolition in order to widen the road and had it not been for the forwarding thinking good local people would have been lost forever therefore house abuts to said road. Chambless house offers the unique gable-end zigzag design. Impressive research has been done on this property however it is in no way complete. Pride of ownership is evident and current owner did a remarkable job in preserving the historic attributes while updating for todays' lifestyle.
