The Burrough–Dover House, also known as the Burrough–Dover Farmhouse, is located in Pennsauken Township of Camden County, New Jersey, United States. The historic stone house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 25, 1973, for its significance in exploration/settlement.[1][3] Restoration work on the house has been performed by the Pennsauken Historical Society.[4]
According to the nomination form, the house was built in 1710 by a member of the Burrough family, one of earliest settlers in the area. Thomas Burrough expanded the house in 1793. Daniel Brooks bought it in 1834. The Dover family purchased the property in 1838 and lived here until 1960. The county then took control and gave it to the Pennsauken Historical Society.[3]
