Seabrook-Wilson House
Seabrook-Wilson House (also known as the Whitlock-Seabrook-Wilson Home and nicknamed the Spy House)〔http://www.monmouthcountyparks.com/page.aspx?Id=2516〕 is located in the town of Port Monmouth, a part of Middletown Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1663 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1974.
==History==
The house was built in 1663 by Thomas Whitlock, New Jersey's first known settler when he came to the colony in 1648. It started out as a one-and-a-half story, one room cabin, and Whitlock lived here with his family. The house was turned into a two-story home by its second owner Thomas Seabrook, who was a patriot in the New Jersey militia. Over the years the Seabrook family added to the original structure. In 1677, the middle section of the house was added, which was occupied by Seabrook's widow in 1703. Her son Daniel Sebrook extended the home across the lawn connecting it to his mother's house. The home stayed in the Seabrook family for a total of 250 years.〔http://www.janedoherty.com/ghost_spyhouse.html〕
In 1892, the house assumed its current size and appearance. After the Seabrooks, in the early 19th century, the house was owned by Reverend William V. Wilson, leader of the New Monmouth Baptist Church and his wife Martha. From 1910 to around the early-1970s, it was a summer inn under the names, "The Bayside Manor" and the "Lighthouse Inn".〔theshadowlands.net/famous/spyhouse.htm〕
For many years after, the house served as an historical museum as the "Port Monmouth Spy House Museum". It featured exhibits about the history and heritage of the bayshore. It was also open for tours, however, the museum was closed to the public in the early-2000s.〔http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/9771〕〔http://patch.com/new-jersey/middletown-nj/why-spy-house-nothing-but-the-truth-about-the-seabroo9992c52ae9#.VCt5nTLiiXs〕
