The Hepburn House was built by Dr. William Hepburn, a respected
physician in the Freehold area, who served on the Township
Commission from the late 1800's to the 1900's, and was involved with
most of the progressive ventures of the time including the purchase
of land for the Carnegie Library. He was an associate and the
physician for Governor Joel Parker after the Civil War.
The house served as Dr. Hepburn's medical office and home. It was
built in the Queen Anne Style with a large polygonal porch, varied
styles and sizes of windows, with stained and leaded glass, turned
posts, projecting front gable with oriel window and undulating cedar
shakes. Many of the rooms have spectacular inlaid parquet floors in
varied patterns and
woods.
