Grubb Estate Chimneys - Burlington, NJ - Unique Chimneys and Chimney Pots on Waymarking.com

Located at 46 Riverbank, along the Delaware in Burlington, New Jersey, Henry Grubb is said to have built tunnels from the riverbank under their home for the concealment of runaway slaves. Grubb not only operated the first tavern in Burlington, but also had business interests in mining and manufacturing. There are two Victorian Style homes on the estate grounds, and included a tannery, a brewery, and a brickyard. It could be possible that the water channels required for such operations may have given rise to rumors of his anti-slavery actions.

There are four chimneys on this Riverbank estate, each displaying symmetric, multi-colored brickpatterns in varying widths. The Grubb Estate stands today as an Underground Railroad site. The estate is currently privately owned.
