The Christopher House
The Christopher House is an outstanding example of a provincial pre-Revolutionary War vernacular farmhouse of stone masonry. It is associated with two of the oldest Staten Island families. It was also used as a meeting place during the American Revolution, while being the residence of Joseph Christopher, a member of the Richmond County Committee of Safety from 1775-1776. It was moved to Historic Richmond Town the Autumn of 1969 and restored for museum presentation from 1975-1977.
==Construction==
According to reporting by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967, the original section was built in 1756, and a section twice that size believed to be added about 1764. Current Historic Richmond Town institutional belief, based on extensive research by Loring McMillen places those dates earlier to circa 1720 for the original portion, with the addition from circa 1730.
The structure is built in the Colonial salt-box tradition and was originally situated in the section of Staten Island now called Willowbrook. While there, it then stood on the brink of the treacherous marshes that covered a great portion of the Island, known as the great swamp.
The building consists of two sections with 22-inch thick native fieldstone walls with wood above. It is one and one-half stories tall with a low cellar and gable roof
