One of New Brunswick’s oldest and most historic landmarks, Buccleuch Mansion (pronounced “buck-clue” or “buckloo”) is a fine 18th century two-and-a-half story house, with a grand entry hall. Originally a classic, Georgian-style residence with 12 rooms and a separate kitchen building, Buccleuch has been influenced by Federal, Italianate and Greek Revival renovations over the years. The hallway interior is notable for its colorful hand-painted DuFour of Macon wallpaper featuring familiar monuments of Paris. Now comprising 16 rooms, the house contains a remarkable collection of American decorative arts, furnishings, textiles and numerous other objects that span the almost two centuries that it was used as a private home to several notable New Brunswick families.
The house had several owners between 1739 and 1911 when it was deeded to the city of New Brunswick, along with 79 acres of parkland, by its last occupant and owner, Anthony Dey. By designation of Dey, the mansion’s contents and furnishings were entrusted to the Jersey Blue Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. Today, this rich historical resource is maintained by our chapter to assist visitors in understanding the history of the house and its occupants. The mansion and Buccleuch Park are maintained by the city of New Brunswick.
