In 1914, it was greatly expanded by adding a frame section to the original brick section . It was used as a tenant residence for more than 100 years, which is why much of its historic character was kept. In the early 1990s, the house and the land near it was purchased to create the Murray Corporate Center. When the developer proposed that the house be demolished, members of the community formed the Branchburg Historical Society for the purpose of saving the house. In recent years, the house has been restored and is set to be a local-history museum. The back of the house portion will be used as a meeting space. Andrew Ten Eyck House
