Losey-Robbins House at Walpack Center in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area
The Losey-Robbins House (aka First Robbins House) on Main Street in Walpack Center was built around 1860 by John Losey. The Robbins in the name comes from the last residents who owned the house, Joseph and Edith Robbins, before it was purchased by the United States government in 1974 to make way for the lake that was to be created once the Tocks Island Dam was completed. The project was abandoned in 1975, and all the land and buildings that remained standing that the government had purchased became part of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
The Losey-Robbins House is now maintained by the Walpack Historical Society. The house was renovated in the summer of 2022.
