In 1894, Samuel Leeds Allen, inventor of the Flexible Flyer sled, commissioned architect Walter Smedley to design his new residence. Allen named it Breidenhart, meaning "broad hearth stone". In 1918, after Allen's death, the house was sold to Eldridge R. Johnson, founder and president of the Victor Talking Machine Company. In 1947, after Johnson's death, it was sold to the Lutheran Home of New Jersey. Description
The house is a two and one-half story stone building featuring Queen Anne architecture and a polygonal corner turret. It is located on a  landscaped lot. See also
