Guest House: Erected 1760. Moved to Library Grounds 1925. The Guest farmhouse was located on the remote outskirts of the city, where it was constructed before the Revolution by builders Henry and Moses Guest. It is said that author Thomas Paine hid out in this house during 1802. It stood on the corner of Livingston Avenue and Carroll Place until 1926, when it was moved to the library grounds to escape demolition. Today it is kept as a museum and is owned by the free public library as meeting rooms. According to tradition, Henry Guest said to his son, "if his descendants would only keep a roof on it, the house would stand 'til Gabriel blew his trump."
