Ross Island Ruins at Takanassee Lake - - The Mysterious Historical Lake House in Elberon
Long Branch, NJ is full of historical treasures if you know where to look. Take, for instance, the small island house in Ross Lake, the western part of Takanassee Lake.
This house sits across from Monmouth University off Norwood Avenue in the Elberon section of Long Branch. There are no doors or windows, just the skeleton of a small two-room house with a fireplace.
The little house is now under the ownership of The City of Long Branch, since Takanassee Lake is considered city property. It is given the address of 20 Elinore Avenue.
The land around this part of the Lake used to be Woolley Farm and split down the middle by the Whale Pond Brook. Owen Woolley sold 30 acres of farmland to a Dr. Dennis for $54,000 in 1886, according to The New York Times. Dr. Dennis then sold the property to P. Sanford Ross of Newark, New Jersey 10 years later in 1896.
