The two-story stone Saxtonville Tavern was built around 1782 and features Federal and Greek Revival influences. It was bought by Nathanial Saxton in 1810. During construction of the Delaware and Raritan Canal in the 1830s, it was a tavern with innkeeper Richard Bennett.[2] It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1939.[3] The Raven Rock Quarry was opened by the Nolan Brothers in 1873–1874. In the 1890s, John Ledger operated the quarry, then known as the Stockton Stone Company, and produced a light gray, fine grain sandstone used in construction projects. Operations stopped in the 1930s.[2]
