Historic narrative:
Address: 301 Silver Hill Road, Newark
Original Owner: George Howland
Year Built: Early ~1835-1845

Here's another large, 2-story house built with small, red, elliptical, lake-washed cobblestones on the front and sides, and fieldstones on the back. Sidelights and transom surround the front door. The limestone lintels, quoins and water table are precisely chiseled. There's a huge lintel over the front door. The frieze sports grills. Columns adorn the front porch, which was a later addition. The bay window was also a much later addition.
