The Bodo Otto House, also known as the Otto–Tonkin House, is a historic house located at the corner of County Route 551 (Kings Highway) and Quaker Road in the Mickleton section of East Greenwich Township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1766 and documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1936.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1976, for its significance in military history.[3]
The house is a two and one-half story stone building featuring Georgian architecture. The land was purchased by William Scull on June 25, 1766. He sold it to Bodo Otto Jr. (1748–1782), son of Bodo Otto, on August 1, 1772. The house was burned in 1778, during the American Revolutionary War. His wife, Catherine Schweighausen, sold the property to Samuel Tonkin in 1796, who rebuilt the house interior.[2] [3]
