Andrew Jackson "Jack" Lupton House


The Jack Lupton house is located in Hobucken across from the Hobucken Methodist Church and next to Charlie Jones’ store, (later the Cash Corner Net Shop).  This two-story, ten-room house in an L-shaped plan with a one-story wrap around porch was built about 1885 by Andrew Jackson Lupton (1854-1941), better known as “Uncle Jack”, son of Robinson Lupton and Matilda Daniels.  During the 1913 hurricane, referred to as the “Great Storm of 1913”, about forty people gathered at Uncle Jack’s house.  This home was later occupied by Earl Peed and his wife, Lucy Williamson Peed and by Jack’s grandson, Robinson Lester Lupton (1900-1981) and last by Robinson’s son, Fitzhugh Spencer Lupton (1925-2011).
