Historic narrative:
This impressive cobblestone mansion at 513 West Maple Avenue at the corner of West Avenue in Newark was built over a two year period from 1845 to 1847 by Jacob Keller who came here from Columbia County about 1825. He first lived in a log house nearby. The water-washed stones came from Lake Ontario. It ultimately became the home of Stuart family who were long involved in the costume jewelry business and later founded Sarah Coventry Inc.
