Oscar A. Kincaid House
The Oscar A. Kincaid house was built in several stages over a period of approximately one-hundred years. The first part, the south one-and-one-half story section was built by Anna and Adam Miller, Jr. in 1785. It was built in the Anglo-Dutch style as seen in its heavy timber frame with pegged, mortise-and-tenon joinery. Later, John Decker constructed the north one-and-one-half story section in 1837 with Greek Revival detailing. This part of the house was also laid out in a Federal side hall plan.
The kitchen addition occurred post-1850, evidence being that its framing appears to be vertically sawn and attached with cut nails. A distinctive feature of the house is the plaster in the front hall which is finished with a unique technique of adding charcoal to the plaster during the curing process; it is a rare example of folk art in New Jersey.
The Kincaid House is listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places.
