Typical houses in Colts Neck:
Most of the houses of the Provincial period were shingled on the outside by cedar shingles and roofed with the same mat erial. They were, generally, filled in with mud, sometimes worked up with chopped straw. The front doors were often orn amented with heavy and elaborate knockers of iron or brass. The doors themselves were large and in the Dutch buildings , usually divided horizontally into two at the middle. Windows were usually small. Floors were of very broad planks (so metimes two feet wide) and laid directly on heavy hand-hewn oak beams.

Chimneys became larger, some being twelve feet wide, needing logs so large and heavy that they had to be drawn within t he kitchen by a horse. Ovens were no longer detached, but built in one of the side-walls of the kitchen chimney (such a s that in the Frederick's home on Laird Road.) Vegetables were sometimes stored in outside root-cellars. Ice was preser ved in deep pits, lined with logs and covered by a peaked roof. - - -
