Lindenwold is a two and one-half story stone building featuring
Victorian Gothic architecture
with

and

motifs. The earliest section was constructed in 1886 by William B. Skidmore for his family residence. He was married to Julia Cobb, daughter of
George T. Cobb
, a mayor of Morristown. In 1905, the Skidmore estate sold the property to John Claflin, who added a west wing by 1910. In 1947, the mansion was sold to
the Peck School
, a private elementary day school.
