Henry Wick House--Jockey Hollow--Morristown,NJ

In 1746 Nathan Cooper, of Roxbury (Chester) township, and Henry Wick, “of Suffolk County, Long Island,” jointly bought 1,114 acres on the Passaic River known as the Dick Tract. Two years later, in 1748, Cooper released his half to Henry Wick, who by then was “of Morristown, New Jersey”. With later purchases the “Wick Tract” came to measure over 1,400 acres.

Settlers were attracted to the Morris County by good farmland, the virgin timber supply, and deposits of iron ore. Henry Wick’s main crop was trees which brought him his wealth.

He built his home between 1747 and 1750. Being a fairly prosperous family for the times, the Wick home was a fine, well constructed house with windows, comfortable and roomy. Reflecting their Long Island roots, the house was built in the New England “integral lean-to” style. This type of design may start as a simple rectangle with a fireplace and chimney across one wall. As a family grew, the house would be expanded on the other side of the chimney.
