Millstead/Dr. Hendrickson House

1108 Princeton-Kingston Road

1108

Part of Kingston Mill District.

Originally a one-room home built of local fieldstone, this building dates from about 1745. Like the Gulick-Hodge-Scott House, Barefoot Brinson may have built it on his property to rent out to tenant farmers. We also know that a Dr. Hendrickson lived here in 1760.

The name “Millstead” comes from the nearby Kingston Mills, which would have been up and running by the time Hendrickson was living here. Like other mills in the Princeton area, this one was central to both business and social life in the vicinity. It was destroyed during the Revolution, but would rebuild and expand in the decades following.
