The Silas Riggs House is a historic house built around 1805 by Silas Riggs (1779–1847) in the Ledgewood section of Roxbury Township in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 11, 1977, for its significance in architecture and community history.[2] It was later added as a contributing property to the Ledgewood Historic District on April 18, 2013.[3]
Silas Riggs was born in Mendham and moved here, then known as Drakesville, around 1805. Riggs was a tanner, and later a canal boat owner, operating on the Morris Canal. His son, Albert Rose Riggs, owned the King Store. The one and one-half story frame house was moved to its current location in 1962. It was restored by the Roxbury Township Historical Society.[2]
