Glenburn, its late-nineteenth century name given to it by its second owner, is located at 211 Hamburg Turnpike, Riverdale, Morris County, New Jersey. Now on five-acres, Glenburn was first constructed ca. 1816 by Simon H. Van Ness. It was originally a three-bay, side hall plan. In 1868, George Linen acquired the property and soon thereafter constructed the western 2/5 of the house, making it a five-bay, center hall plan. Twice in the twentieth century, Glenburn was heavily modified in the Colonial Revival style. It was used as a private residence until five years ago. It is currently owned by the Borough of Riverdale and is used for weddings, private parties, as well as for meetings.
