History and description

Vincent Class Van Schal-Kwyck Boisaubin (1755–1834) was born in Port-Louis, Guadeloupe. He was educated in Paris and became a member of the Garde du Corps of King Louis XVI of France. He fled during the French Revolution and purchased land near Morristown. The manor house was built sometime between 1822 and 1834 with Greek Revival style. His son, Amidee Boisaubin, inherited the property and in 1851 sold it to Alfred Treadwell. By 1890, the illustrator A. B. Frost bought the property and named it Moneysunk. In 1910, Henry W. Shoemaker purchased the property and called it Kresheim.[2]
