It is currently a private residence and a business address. It was dismantled and rebuilt in 1850 to rid the house of ghosts. The Demarest family bought it in 1814. It is now owned privately. Their son, Albert Payson Terhune, was raised here and became famous as the author of Lad and other dog stories.
Headstones mark the graves of favorite dogs.
Sunnybank is now a town park. The house was in too great a state of disrepair to be saved. Built in the 1700's to house George Colfax, the toll collector on the road from Paterson to Hamburg. To supplement his income, Colfax was also a cobbler. This home currently is a private residence.
