At 5.8 miles is (L) the Low HOUSE (not open), built by Cornelius Low
in 1741. It was at the time the largest and most costly house in the once
busy shipping community of The Landing; and it still ranks as one of the
State's best examples of Georgian Colonial architecture, with a splendid
entrance, sandstone walls, and hipped slate roof. Within are shell-head
closets, and a paneled wainscot running along the hall and up the stairs.
THE LANDING, 5.8 miles, is marked also by LANDING BRIDGE (R),
crossing the Raritan. Here was a thriving settlement of mills, warehouses,
and stores that threatened to overshadow New Brunswick as a shipping
center. The last of the structures at The Landing was razed in 1875 and
today cattle graze in the meadows beside the river.
