Photograph: 3 The Staats House as it appeared in Our Home Magazine, 1890. The door into the 18th century Kitchen Wing is clearly on the end of the house. New shed dormers have been added, bringing much needed natural light to the 18th century portion of the house. William A. Schleicher and Susan J. Winter, Somerset County Crossroads of the American Revolution, [Images of America], Chicago, IL: Arcadia Publishing, 1999, p. 90.
Photograph: 4 This c. 1920 photograph shows the shed dormers still in place. Note the porch along the front of the East Addition, complete with summer awning, and the small portico or pergola by the original 18th century Entry. The c. 1880 photograph showed a small portico in place, this appears to be a replacement. This photograph depicts the house as it appeared when it passed out of the Staats family in 1935. Rutgers Special New Jersey Collection.
Photograph: 2. This c. 1880 photograph shows the front facade before the LaTourettes replaced the small dormers with large shed dormers. It also shows the door to the Kitchen Wing in its original location, on the front of the house. Cornelius LaTourette, Florence LaTourette and son Eugene LaTourette lived in the house in 1880.
