English: BUILT IN THE LATE 1840’S. JACOB SLOAT (1792–1857), A GRANDSON OF STEPHEN SLOAT, WHO FIRST SETTLED THE AREA IN 1763, BUILT HIS MILLS ON THE RAMAPO IN THE MID-1810S. DURING THE NEXT DECADE, HE INVENTED THE CAP SPINDLE AND GIMLET-POINTED WOOD SCREW, HIS FAMILY LATER CLAIMED. THE HOUSE REMAINED IN THE SLOAT FAMILY UNTIL THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY. A 1912 POSTCARD OF THE VILLAGE SHOWS IT BEING USED AS THE HENRY INN. IT LATER BECAME THE RAMAPO INN, A POPULAR LOCAL EATERY UNTIL THE MID-1930S. THE NEXT DECADE, IT BECAME AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT, AND IN THE MID-1950S WAS ONCE AGAIN CONVERTED INTO A BOARDINGHOUSE, THE MARTIN HOME FOR WOMEN. IT IS NOW OWNED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITH HOPE OF IT BECOMING A MUSEUM |
