WRITE YOURSELF IN TO HISTORY… Praiss Castle provides a truly unique opportunity to write yourself into a rich and vibrant history. The land was first acquired as a 1000-acre lot in 1699. After a series of colorful owners, Stephen Collins owned 100 acres on its highest point known for its sprawling farmlands established as Collins Hill. The house was built for Haddon Height’s first major and postmaster Benjamin Lippincott. It was dressed in stone with a slate roof and featured three stone chimneys. From this very spot, Lippincott together with partner Charles Hillman developed the Haddon Heights train station and created the grid-street plan that became the community of Haddon Heights – named because of its proximity to Haddonfield and its high elevation. To this day, it continued to be home to scholars, military heros, and physicians. Is your family next? What will your legacy be in the history of Praiss Castle?
