Ridgeton Hall on Bayshore Road (on private property)
"Ridgeton" was built In 1859 By Judge Levi D. Travers, Jr. at a cost of
$5,000, and is recorded in the National Register of Historic Places. Judge
Travers administered the construction of the Bethlehem Church just two years
prior to building Ridgeton. The house is wooden framed of Italianate style,
with a widow's walk, two huge chimneys, and a hipped roof with a center
gable to the front. The main two-story section consists of a central
stairway and hall that opens to rooms on each side. In all, there are ten
fireplaces, thirteen rooms, and two baths. The 1 1/2 story center section is
of older construction, predating the larger section of the house. The huge
double chimneys were said to contain more bricks than are in the entire
Bethlehem "Brick" Church.
Ridgeton is privately owned by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L. Neild, Sr., Judge
Travers is an ancestor of Mr. Neild.
