Most of the wooden outbuildings shown in the birds-eye view above were built in the early 1800s to replace older stone buildings. Stone construction was more typical of the older Dutch settlement homesteads in Paramus, New Jersey.

Construction details on all of the buildings seem to be a combination of Dutch and English traditions. The big barn is one of the latest examples of typical Dutch culture timber-frame barns that once filled the Hudson River Valley.

The house, which was built by Jacob Zabriskie, also replaced an earlier stone home. The 1826 farmhouse combines the Federal style of architecture with that of the earlier Dutch Colonial style. Although the farm was subdivided and sold in parcels, the house remained in the Zabriskie family for 132 years.

The plan set that you can print includes drawings of the farmhouse, the 40'x40' three-level barn, a combination workshop, sleigh house and wood shed, a grain crib, a corn crib, a small wagon barn and a stone smokehouse. The drawings include floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections and construction details.
