The Sand Brook Historic District is a 27-acre (11 ha) historic district encompassing the community. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 2013, for its significance in architecture and community development.[3] The district includes 16 contributing buildings, six contributing structures, and two contributing sites. It includes Greek Revival and Late Victorian architecture.[5]
The former Sand Brook General Store was built around 1902 by Samuel F. Fauss. It is a two-story frame building featuring Queen Anne architecture.[5] The Sand Brook German Baptist Church was built around 1850 by a group from the Amwell Church of the Brethren. It is a one-story stuccoed-stone building with Greek Revival influences. The congregation was locally known as the "Moorites", after elder John P. Moore and his family.[5][6] The small stone-walled cemetery located behind the church also contributes to the district.[5]
