The Holmes–Tallman House is a large farmhouse with Carpenter's Italianate style located northwest of Jamesburg, at the corner of County Route 535 (Cranbury-South River Road) and County Route 522 (Rhode Hall Road, formerly Brown's Corner Road), in Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. Also known as Brown's Corner House, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1979, for its significance in architecture.[2]
The house was built by Francis Holmes. It was then purchased by Jacob B. Tallman in 1870. Built of wood, it features a three-story cubical main section with a two-story wing in the back. A one-story porch with eyelet jigsaw work spans the front and sides. The hip roof has a square cupola.[2]
