History and description
editLindenwold is a two and one-half story stone building featuring Victorian Gothic architecture with Jacobean Revival and Queen Anne motifs. The earliest section was constructed in 1886 by William B. Skidmore for his family residence. He was married to Julia Cobb, daughter of George T. Cobb, a mayor of Morristown. In 1905, the Skidmore estate sold the property to John Claflin, who added a west wing by 1910. In 1947, the mansion was sold to the Peck School, a private elementary day school.[3]
