The Carter House is believed to be the oldest existing building in Summit. Property along the Passaic River, on what is now River Road, was deeded to Benjamin Carter in 1740. He built a cottage on the site in 1741and over the years it was enlarged to its current size. When Benjamin Carter died in 1760 he left nine children. One of those children, Sarah, married John Bonnel and moved into the house and probably carried out the first enlargement of the house.
