Dr. Lewis Condict House 1797 - New Jersey Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The house is one of the few remaining houses built in the Federal Style remaining in Morristown.

From the Virtual Tour of the Morristown.Org website:

Dr. Lewis Condict served Morristown as a doctor, patriot and public official. He built this house in 1797 after completing medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Condict is said to have introduced a new British vaccine against smallpox by publicly inoculating his two-year-old daughter on the front stoop. He was also one of the founders of the Morris and Essex Railroad. The first railroad station in Morristown stood on "Railroad Avenue" (Maple Avenue) behind his home. The Dr. Lewis Condict House is now owned by the Women´s Club of Morristown, which has maintained the home and provided a local meeting place for community organizations for more than 50 years.
