I guess I should have titled this, 'The Death of a House," By chance I happened to google' The Crawford House, Sunset Road, Somerset Co. NJ" which had owned the Lammert Janse Dorlant farm on Sunset Road, Somerville, NJ for years. This became a halfway house for women addicts, but for many years the organization had been respectful of the history of the home, and the exterior remained similar to the Dutch architecture. NO MORE, the house has totally been turned into one that bears no resemblance what so ever, to what it formerly was. The roof appears to have been removed and raised, which means most likely the historic beams bearing the Dorlant signatures were removed, the chimney's removed, siding added, concrete parking places right next to and in front of the house covering the old well. You would never know this was formerly a1739 Dutch House. That being said, they were well aware of the historic nature of the house and its history, my friend Ursula Brecknell had had a good relationship with Crawford House before her death but due to health reasons had not been able to get over and check on it. My own health issues prevented me from going over for the past couple of years and so it goes. The house for all intents and purposes is now gone, although I suppose with in the walls something still exists. Now it looks like a Dr. or Dentists office. Whether or not the cemetery still exists, I don't know, but am inquiring. Its like when a bulldozer goes through a cemetery, one it happens you can't get it back. Our Dorlant house for all intents and purposes is gone. Judy Cassidy
