History:
The Buckelew Mansion has been know by many names including "Lakeview" and "The House of Many Windows". The original part of the house dates back to the colonial times. It was a one-room house and over the years additional rooms were added. When James Buckelew moved into the house it was known as the Gordon homestead. Buckelew enlarged the house in 1829 and over the years several more additions where added to the house including: the two-story front, a wide center hallway, spacious double parlors and a wide, pillared verandah overlooking Lake Manalapan. In the 1870's the third story was added.
James Buckelew died in 1869. Mrs. Buckelew continued to live in Lakeview until her death in 1890. At that time the house was purchased by the Paxton family. This family ran a boarding house here until the house was sold to the Borough of Jamesburg in 1979. Today, the Jamesburg Historic Association maintains Lakeview as Jamesburg’s museum. Many artifacts from Jamesburg’s proud history are housed here.
